Jaffa Road, a main artery in central Jerusalem, has been torn up for a long time, leaving little room for pedestrians and for buses and cars.
Laying of the track and of the infrastructure for the new light rail is costing millions..
I find it humorous that in what should be such a sophisticated project they protect the still-open tubes from rain with left-over plastic bottles.

This is very interesting to see. Hawaii is working on getting a rail system installed and it's going to cost millions and millions. I hope we get it because we have such a traffic problem here on Oahu. I know you guys are going to love it when it's all done.
ReplyDeleteI thought this stuff only happened in the states..

I was involved with that project a long time ago, it's gratifying to see it finally coming together. The bottles crack me up though.
ReplyDeleteYour property taxes, to support light rail, must be enormously difficult to bear, let alone pay.
ReplyDeleteWell, we're supposed to be reusing and recycling, right? :)
ReplyDeletethis photo reminds me of the stories i can tell you about torn up roads here in crete, which we have to drive on anyway...
ReplyDeletehee hee hee
ReplyDeleteTalk about recycling!
That is ironic...their form of protection with plastic bottles.
ReplyDeleteI hope your son and his family saw the link for the Hanukkah festival, too. There is an ongoing Noah’s Ark exhibit that they might want to attend at some point. I hope to go see it with my grandies, eventually.
Dina, you've found an odd interesting detail indeed. It's to be hoped that the works will end soon.
