The opening as it read in 2010
Highways routebox Highway 1 passing under Route 412 at Shafirim Interchange Highway 1 ( , Kvish E h ad ), is the main highway connecting Tel Aviv with Jerusalem . Highway 1 continues into the West Bank past the Israeli settlement of Ma'ale Adummim , and is then downgraded in size until the Beit HaArava Junction with Route 90 south of Jericho near the shores of the Dead Sea . The highway is heavily congested , especially at the entrances to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The section between Sha'ar HaGai and Jerusalem is also congested at times because of the many accidents and breakdowns caused by the high slopes and winding nature of this section. Trucks might also cause slow downs on this narrow four-lane section.1
