Jerusalem Constructs NIS 73 Million Underground Passage to Shaare Zedek

The Jerusalem Municipality has initiated the construction of a NIS 73 million underground pedestrian passage to improve access to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center. This project involves the demolition of the Elie Wiesel Plaza, which was established over five years ago, to create a 130-meter-long tunnel. The passage aims to facilitate easier access for people with disabilities, the elderly, and those with strollers, reducing the need to navigate multiple pedestrian crossings and steep sidewalks. The project, funded by the Transportation Ministry, is expected to take three years to complete and will include underground shops.
