The opening as it read in 2020
Jerusalem, Israel.1The Jerusalem Light Rail ( , HaRakevet HaKala Birushalayim ) is a light rail system in Jerusalem , Israel .2 Currently, the Red Line is the only one in operation, the first of several light rail lines planned in Jerusalem . Construction on the Red line began in 2002 and ended in 2010, when the testing phase began. It was built by the CityPass consortium, which has a 30-year concession to operate it. The project required construction of the Jerusalem Chords Bridge as well as other renovation projects around Jerusalem. After repeated delays due to archaeological discoveries and technical issues, service began, initially free of charge, on August 19, 2011. It became fully operational on December 1, 2011. The line is 13.9 kilometers (8.6 mi) long with 23 stops.3Extensions to the red line are currently under construction to the Israeli settlement of Neve Yaakov and to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital to the southwest.4When completed in 2021, these will extend the line's length to 22.5 km.5 With a total estimated cost for the Red Line's initial section of ₪ 3.8 billion (approx. US $1.1 billion), the project was criticized for budget overruns , for its route serving Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem and for contributing to air and noise pollution during construction. The Green line's plans have been approved by the city of Jerusalem, with right-of-way clearing works underway. Construction tenders, including those for the red line extension, were awarded in August 2019 to TransJerusalem J-Net Ltd., owned by CAF and Shapir Engineering. The approval process on the Blue line has started.
