Greens oppose high-speed Jerusalem rail line tender

1/10/2009 10:02:39 AM

At issue is whether the railway will bridge over or tunnel under Nahal Yitle in the Judean Mountains.   A storm has erupted between Israel Railways and environmental organizations after Israel Railways announced that it intends to publish a tender for construction of the second section of the Jerusalem high-speed rail link. The environmental organizations are demanding that the tender be postponed until after a detailed plan for the line is formulated. Last month, the cabinet approved the establishment of a special authorizing body to deal with the planning aspects of the high-speed Jerusalem railway line. The cabinet also budgeted NIS 6.4 billion for the project. Globes Online
