Netivei Israel plans to invest more than US$1.63 billion in its road development and safety projects in 2013 – breaking its previous record in 2012 of over $1.47billion.

By the end of 2012, the company completed the construction of five new interchanges, and began building 13 additional interchanges. It also completed the upgrading of 160kms of highways, through the paving of new roads, expanding existing roads and adding interchanges.   

Next year, Netivei Israel will begin the construction of 19 new interchanges and the paving of 30km of new roads as part of the ongoing overhaul of Israel’s interurban road network.

A summary of 2012 indicates a significant 32% fall in the number of fatalities in interurban road accidents in Israel. A comparison between the current period and the same period last year shows a decrease of about 36% in the number of driver fatalities, and a decline of 50% in the number of pedestrian fatalities. The reduction in the number of road fatalities was also found among vehicle passengers, motorcyclists and bicycle riders.
