Work Begins on Final Tunnel for Jerusalem-Tel Aviv Rail Link
(Times of Israel) Gavriel Fiske - Prime Minister Netanyahu attended the inauguration Monday of the construction of an 11 km. railway tunnel, part of a planned Jerusalem-Tel Aviv high-speed rail line. The new line will carry passengers between Israel's two largest cities in 28 minutes and is expected to be completed at the end of 2017. A new underground train terminal at the entrance to Jerusalem will also serve as an emergency, nuclear-proof bomb shelter for up to 2,000 people.
