The works are expected to last about 4 months, during which changes will be applied to the traffic arrangements and pedestrian crossings, which will be blocked and reduced alternately.
Work on the Haifa West Matron Project and Carmel Castle will begin on Sunday 19/5/24, by the "Chutza Israel" company in the "Sami Ofer" section.
The new Matron line will provide fast, convenient and efficient access to the commercial and employment centers, the educational institutions and the leisure and entertainment centers in the area.
This coming Sunday, 19/5/24, infrastructure work will begin on the Haifa West Matron project and the Carmel Castle, in the Sami Ofer section, by the company 'Chutza Israel', which serves as an executive arm of the Ministry of Transportation.
The works, which are expected to last about 4 months, will be carried out in two locations: on Rotenberg Street, in the section between Nativ Ha'or Street and Weizman Boulevard and at the intersection of Weizman Street and the "Kastra" Mall.
As part of the works, changes will be applied to traffic arrangements and pedestrian crossings, and they will be blocked and reduced alternately.
Work times
The works will be carried out on Sunday-Thursday, between the hours of 07:00 in the morning and 19:00 in the evening, as well as on Fridays between the hours of 7:00 and 14:0. If work is carried out at night, the public will be informed about it in advance.
The goal of the Haifa West and Carmel Castle metro project is to serve the residents of the area, while creating a fast and convenient transportation sequence in the Haifa metropolis, and to complete the future transportation system in the Carmel area.
The matron will operate using electric vehicles, with the aim of reducing traffic congestion in the area and expanding the use of public transportation, through an innovative and advanced system for mass transportation, which will be an alternative to the private car. The matron will get priority at the traffic lights and will allow continuous travel.
30 stations
The length of the new Matron route is about 10 kilometers, and it will include 30 stations in Haifa and Carmel Castle. The Matron routes will be established along Highway 11 in Haifa and Herzl Street in Carmel Castle, connect to Highway 4, continue to the Matam intersection at the entrance to Haifa, encircle the city and end at Nesher and the Bay Center.
renewal of water and electricity infrastructures
As part of the project, the water, sewage and electricity infrastructures will be renewed and upgraded, as well as the sidewalks will be restored, emphasizing accessibility for the well-being of the residents. Environmental development works will also be carried out, which will include the removal of trees and the planting of new trees.
CEO of "Chutza Israel", Dan Shanbach:
"The Haifa West and Carmel Castle Matron project is another milestone in improving the quality of life of the residents in the Haifa metropolis, and joins a series of urban and inter-urban projects promoted by "Chutza Israel" in the north of the country, which are designed to provide an advanced and innovative transportation solution. The Matron will bring connection between Haifa, Carmel Castle and the Kiryat , and will allow the residents of the area maximum accessibility to additional public transportation lines, and to commercial, employment and leisure centers."
First build the Naot Peres neighborhood and Meske and only after finishing all the roads and infrastructures open and excavate everything from the beginning to introduce metro bus routes. Instead of knowing in advance that they want metro lines, they plan the neighborhood so that they will pass through it in a safe and convenient way for the residents, so they do everything double = how many times the costs
The dream at its peak...
Where is Route 11 in Haifa?
Good luck to the new team.
A bit of road resurfacing wouldn't hurt which Mrs Kalish has completely ignored. There are already signs of maintenance and paint.
Great, good luck.
Well done. Strengthening public transportation is just as important for the connection between Haifa and bordering cities.
Just as important is to extend line 2 (Kiryat Ata) until Shafaram.
