Jerusalem Unveils Ambitious Metro Line Project: Feasibility Study and Design Tender

The Jerusalem Municipality and the Ministry of Transport have recently released a tender for a feasibility study and preliminary design of three metro lines that are proposed for implementation in the Israeli capital. This long-term planning indicates a commitment to improving public transportation infrastructure in Jerusalem to ensure that it can adequately serve residents and visitors in the years to come.

The goal is to have 8 tram lines operating in Jerusalem by 2030, but experts predict that this may not be sufficient to meet the needs of the growing population. As part of this initiative, the Joint team has put out a call for proposals for companies or organizations to conduct the necessary studies and design work to move the project forward. This marks an important step towards modernizing and expanding Jerusalem’s public transportation network to keep up with the demands of a city experiencing rapid growth and development.

The terms of the tender state that the design work for the metro lines should be completed by the end of 2026, with construction tentatively scheduled to begin in 2040. The committee is looking for companies or organizations with experience in conducting feasibility studies, as well as those with expertise in preliminary design, including track layout, station location and capacity, system integration and safety features.

This joint effort between Jerusalem Municipality and Ministry of Transport aims to improve public transportation infrastructure in Jerusalem and ensure that it can adequately serve residents and visitors in years ahead. The goal is not only to add more trams but also make sure they are efficient, safe and accessible for everyone.
