The Fundoq bypass road, "Mevo Kedumim," is set for partial opening by December and full completion by the end of 2026.
The project aims to enhance traveler safety and reduce commute times in the Samaria region.
The road will eventually feature two lanes with a total of four lanes to improve traffic flow and safety.
Vatik highlighted the road's critical importance for security and safety in the area.

Vatik recently toured the construction site, noting significant progress on the project designed to enhance traveler safety and reduce commute times.

The current phase of work involves paving the third segment, which will connect the bypass route to Highway 55 near the "Sha'ar Ha'oz" junction. Construction on the fourth segment, located in the Jinsafut area, is expected to commence soon.

Following its initial opening, the road will undergo further expansion to include two lanes with a total of four lanes, aiming to improve traffic flow and road safety in the region. Vatik emphasized the road's critical importance, stating, "The Mevo Kedumim road is much more than another transportation upgrade; this road is critical for the security and safety of us all."

Vatik also expressed his gratitude to Transportation Minister Miri Regev, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and the heads of Samaria regional councils, including Yossi Dagan, Yehonatan Kuznetsov, and Eliyahu Gafni, for their efforts in advancing the project. He assured that he and his team are actively monitoring the site and working with various authorities to expedite the road's opening.
