Jerusalem has opened a new public transport lane (נת"צ) on Begin Road, a major artery in the capital. The lane, located between the Lifta tunnels and Har Hotzvim, was led by the Ministry of Transportation and the Jerusalem Municipality through the Moriah company. The project expanded the central traffic artery from three to four lanes, dedicating the rightmost lane exclusively for buses and public transportation. This initiative aims to reduce travel times, improve the punctuality of public transport, and alleviate traffic congestion on one of the city's busiest routes.
A corresponding lane in the opposite direction is slated to open in January, completing a continuous public transport corridor exceeding two kilometers in length, from the Golda Meir interchange to the exits for Givat Shaul and Ben Gurion Boulevard. The engineering project also includes the construction of a dedicated bridge, a bicycle path, and a sidewalk for pedestrians.
