The opening ceremony of the expanded access road to Ramat Beit Shemesh Gimmel (Route 5) will take place tomorrow.
The road begins at the traffic circle exit of Nachal Ze’elim, and enters RBS Gimmel at Zacharia Ha Navi Street, untill now there has been only one connecting road for entering and exiting RBS Gimmel, however this was a road that was single lane traffic & on a steep incline which made the road not one of the safest roads in our area.
The new road and bridge which was opened to traffic at the beginning of this month has made the connection from RBS Aleph to Gimmel much more accessible and safer. It has also given the residents another alternative route that they can use thus reducing traffic on the other main road into Gimmel.
