The new Dror Interchange in Israel will tackle one of the country's worst traffic congestion points.
The tender process for the project to builds the Dror interchange at Lev Hasharon in Israel has been won by Ramat. The US$102.3 million deal was awarded to Ramat by the Israel National Roads Company. The project involves building a level crossing between Road 4 and Road 553, to the east of Even Yehuda. The multi-level interchange will help reduce one of Israel's major traffic congestion points. The Dror interchange is one of dozens of such projects being planned at present by the 2602 Israel National Roads Company. The Dror interchange is at the intersection of Roads 4 and 553 and the work is expected to take up to three years to complete. The new interchange is designed to carry up to 20,000 vehicles/hour, which is anticipated as the traffic volume passing through the link by 2035, according to growth estimates. The level crossing at the heart of the project will feature a bridge on the route of Road 553, over Road number 4. The bridge will be designed for a driving speed of 90km/h and the road under it for a speed of 100km/h. This new link will tackle the bottleneck in the central segment of Road 4 that is one of four north-south roads in Israel. This is one of 95 interchanges that will be constructed in the interurban road network over the next six years.
