Birthplace of Jesus: Plans to Dig A Tunnel Under Manger Square to Tackle Traffic Issues! (12-23-14) ~ https://youtube/watch?v=ApN5PetTlIs Traffic is a mess year-round. It may be the biblical town of grottos and shepherds fields in the minds of many around the world, but Bethlehem is a modern densely populated town of 28,000 with a dizzying weave of small streets that practically guarantee traffic jams. Bethlehem is going through a crisis, said Anton Salman, a city councilor. We think that the solution to this traffic is to build an underground passage between the two sides of the square. Bethlehems municipality hopes to eventually build several tunnels around the Palestinian city, where the urban development problems are myriad. Bethlehem is sandwiched on three sides by other towns. From the north and southeast, it is hemmed in by Israels separation barrier and Jewish settlements, leaving it little choice but to build vertically.
