Officials in Jerusalem City Hall and the Ministry of Transportation announce a planned lane expansion for the Menachem Begin Highway in the southbound direction, the direction from the capital towards the southern capital and Gush Etzion. The Begin Highway (Route 50) will be widened from three lanes from Kiryat Moshe Interchange to Golumb Junction. Work is to begin immediately and last three weeks. Other areas of the road in the southbound direction will be expanded from two to three lanes as well.

The work will be ongoing during the day and night so delays are to be expected in the coming weeks.
