Future
In 2012, the National Roads Company of Israel published tenders to upgrade Highway 38 creating a divided highway with two lanes in each direction between Beit Shemesh and Sha'ar HaGai. A trumpet interchange will be created at Shimshon Junction and diamond interchanges at Naham/Hartuv, Eshtaol, Mesilat Zion, the Burma Road and the Sha'ar HaGai Caravansserai. A wildlife crossing (ecological bridge) will be built near Mesilat Zion and the road will be raised to overpass the railway tracks at Beit Shemesh. The estimated completion date is 2015 and the cost will be more than 800M Shekels.
