The Kerem Tunnel is a great place to ride and hike. In the 42-kilometer Jerusalem Ring Path cycling route, which surrounds the capital, the Kerem Tunnel was inaugurated. It connects Nahal Refaim to Emek Motza. The tunnel's southern entry point can be found within Refaim Park below Ein Laban. The northern entrance is in Nahal Ein Kerem about half one kilometer away from the Kerem junction. The 2.1-kilometers-long tunnel project was officially inaugurated in a ceremony on Thursday , attended by Jerusalem and Heritage Minister Ze'evElkin, Mayor Moshe Lion, Gihon water company chairman Avi Baleshnikov, and a slew of cyclists. Jerusalem was a sought-after tourist destination due to its glorious past. Nowadays, aside from its historical treasures it also has modern tourism," Elkin said. "The inauguration of [this] tunnel is another aspect of the growth of the city of Jerusalem as well as its development into a desirable tourist city for all types of audiences in Israel and around the world." Elkin, whose ministry was spearheaded the project along with Jerusalem Municipality stated that his ministry has invested hundreds of millions of shekels every year in the city's tourism development and also in the creation of new attractions and ventures which will link the amazing historical past with the exciting the future of Jerusalem. I invite cyclists to enjoy an attractive, well-maintained cycle route, which overlooks the stunning nature of Old Jerusalem. The project was funded by the Elkin's Ministry and the Tourism Ministry. It also included the budgets for the Jerusalem Municipality and the Gihon Corporation. The work was carried out by the Jerusalem Development Authority. https://www.openlearning.com/u/lawrencemills-ri9045/blog/NeveParitzkiIsraelCelebratesRecordBreakingTouristEntryNumbersFromTheUnitedStates Elkin said that the Kerem Tunnel project is an important tool in realizing the goal to change the way of thinking and transportation throughout Jerusalem. https://cobb-bentley.technetbloggers.de/neve-paritzki-israel-celebrates-record-breaking-tourism-entry-numbers-united-states-1663261365 "The tunnel, which is being constructed to connect to the Jerusalem Ring Path will join the existing bike paths as well as the ones that will be paved within its neighborhoods. It's designed to promote biking among its residents and promote the green revolution in transport in the capital." The Kerem Tunnel was originally excavated in 1990 in order to transfer the main sewer from Gihon Corporation towards the Sorek purification facility. https://christie-putnam.blogbright.net/neve-paritzkijerusalem-opens-israels-first-cycling-tunnel-0a-1663261637 https://telegra.ph/Neve-ParitzkiJerusalem-inaugurates-Israels-first-cycle-tunnel-09-15-2 The plant is located west of Sorek and is still used as an infrastructure tunnel.
