Jerusalem, 12 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Finance have approved budgetary additions to the metro project in Tirat Carmel and Haifa, adding to a total investment of approximately 700 million Shekels ($220 million).

The metro, whose new line route extends over about ten kilometers, is expected to create a rapid transportation continuum that will connect Tirat Carmel and Haifa West to the commercial, employment and leisure centers, including direct access to Sammy Ofer Stadium.

The works, which are already underway, include paving designated priority lanes, establishing 30 new and sophisticated stations equipped with real-time information displays, and implementing technological infrastructure for priority at intersections. Alongside these, the project is upgrading the urban space with illuminated bike paths, new sidewalks, and extensive landscape development.
