הכביש הזה מוביל לעיר.

A common pronunciation is ha-kvish ha-ZE mo-VIL la-IR if לעיר means to the city in your context.

Word by word: הכביש = ha-kvish
הזה = ha-ZE
מוביל = mo-VIL
לעיר = either la-IR or le-IR, depending on meaning and vowel marks

A useful detail: in normal unpointed Hebrew spelling, לעיר can be read in more than one way, so context matters.

That is the normal Hebrew pattern.

Hebrew usually says: noun + this/that

So: הכביש הזה = this road
העיר הזאת = this city

This is one of the most basic word-order differences from English. If you translate word for word, it looks like the road this, but in natural English it means this road.

Because Hebrew normally makes both parts definite in this kind of phrase.

So this road is: הכביש הזה

Not just: כביש הזה

The ה־ on הכביש is the definite article, like the.
The form הזה is the standard masculine singular form for this after a noun.

This double definiteness is very common in Hebrew: הספר הזה = this book
הילד הזה = this boy

You can tell from agreement.

The word הזה is masculine singular, and מוביל is also masculine singular. That tells you the noun they agree with, כביש, is masculine singular too.

Compare: הכביש הזה מוביל = masculine singular
הדרך הזאת מובילה = feminine singular

So Hebrew gives you gender and number clues through the words around the noun.

מוביל is the masculine singular present-tense form of להוביל, which means to lead, to bring, or to direct depending on context.

In this sentence, מוביל means leads.

So: להוביל = to lead
מוביל = leading / leads

Hebrew present-tense verb forms often look a bit like participles, and they change for gender and number: מוביל = masculine singular
מובילה = feminine singular
מובילים = masculine plural
מובילות = feminine plural

In Hebrew, simple present-tense sentences usually do not use a separate word for is/am/are.

So Hebrew says: הכביש הזה מוביל לעיר

Literally, it is closer to: This road leads to the city

or word-for-word: The road this leading to the city

That is completely normal Hebrew. You do not need a separate present-tense to be here.

The ל־ means to.

Hebrew very often attaches short prepositions directly to the following word. So instead of writing a separate word for to, Hebrew writes:

ל + עיר = לעיר

This is extremely common: לבית = to the house / to a house
לילד = to the boy / to a boy
לעיר = to the city / to a city

So the attached ל־ is just normal Hebrew spelling and grammar.

In unpointed Hebrew spelling, לעיר can represent either one.

It can be: לְעִיר = to a city
or לָעִיר = to the city

Without vowel marks, both are written the same way: לעיר.

So in real reading, context tells you which meaning is intended. If your translation shows to the city, then that is the intended reading here.

Because עיר is not a direct object here. It is part of a prepositional phrase with ל־.

The particle את is used before a definite direct object, but not after prepositions like ל־, ב־, or מ־.

So: אני רואה את העיר = I see the city
but אני הולך לעיר = I am going to the city

In your sentence, לעיר means to the city, so את is not used.

Sometimes yes, because both ל־ and אל can relate to movement or direction, but they are not always equally natural in every sentence.

With מוביל, ל־ is very common and natural: הכביש הזה מוביל לעיר

אל העיר is possible in some contexts, but מוביל ל־ is the more standard everyday choice for lead to.

So for this sentence, לעיר is the form most learners should treat as the default.

Usually it means a general present fact here: this road leads to the city.

Hebrew present tense often covers both ideas that English separates: leads and is leading

In this sentence, the natural interpretation is the general one: the road goes there; that is where it leads. It is not usually understood as a temporary action happening right now.
