Route 386 is a road in Israel that runs from Jerusalem to Tzur Hadassah.
Route 386 starts in the Givat Shaul area of Jerusalem, near the Givat Shaul interchange with Highway 404, and the Binyanei HaUma Convention Center. At this point, it is called Sderot Herzl, also known as Tzir Herzl (Herzl Axis), the major north-south route on the west side of the city.[1] Along this portion of the route, tracks were laid for the Jerusalem Light Rail, which began operation in August, 2011. Yad Vashem, Sha'arei Tzedek Medical Center and the Mount Herzl National Cemetery are on Sderot Herzl.[2]
At Holland Square near the Bayit VeGan neighborhood, the route turns west as the Ein Karem Road, descending through the neighborhood of Ein Kerem. It continues past Karem Junction where it becomes a scenic route passing below Hadassah Hospital. Winding its way through the mountains, the route descends further passing the Sataf Spring Nature Reserve [1], Jerusalem's main electrical switching station (Sapir Station)[2] and Jerusalem's main sewage treatment facility [3].
The route then begins a long winding ascent, turning in a more southerly direction skirting the west side of the Har Giora Nature Reserve. It winds past Nes Harim Junction (Route 3866), passing Moshav Bar Giora where it turns almost due east for 2 km. ending at Tzur Hadassah Junction (Route 375).[3]
