Hi there my Israeli friends.
We'll be over by you just a few days before Passover and boy are we going to screw up all your shopping preparations in Jerusalem:
The news is
Jerusalemites can expect some major interruptions to their daily routines during US President Barack Obama’s visit from March 20 to 22. As in the case of president George W. Bush’s visit in 2008, major roads downtown will be closed during Operation Unbreakable Alliance, as Obama’s visit has been dubbed.
King David Street will be completely closed to traffic during the entire Obama visit, as Obama and parts of his 500-person entourage will be staying at the King David Hotel.
Parking will be forbidden on a number of roads leading to places included in Obama’s itinerary, including Ramban, Ruppin, Agron, Museum Boulevard, Givat Ram campus, Arlosoroff, Balfour, Kaplan, Jabotinsky, Herzl Boulevard, Ben Tzvi, and others. Any cars parked there will be towed. During the times when Obama is expected to travel on the roads, they could be closed for a number of hours.
Public transportation will run as normal, though some bus routes that use the roads mentioned above will be redirected to alternate routes.
