Highway 16, the new expressway into Jerusalem, is spread across 6 kilometers and includes four tunnels of approximately 6 kilometers that pass beneath Jerusalem, seven bridges and dozens of underground passageways. The project has three interchanges, the Motza Interchange, the Revida Interchange and the Bait Interchange, a three-lane roadway in the eastern portion and a two-lane in its western portion. Earthworks totaling approximately one million cubic meters were carried out in the project, 200 m2 of road paving, 5,500 meters of roadway and a total of 280,000 m3 of concrete were poured into it.
