Israel's new Road No 6 project is well on track, with some 140km of the planned 260km route already operating. The Road No 6 project is being planned by Cross Road Highway from planning and statutory stages through bidding and construction. This state-owned firm is now preparing the next stages of the No 6 route. Free-flow tolling technology is being used on the No 6 highway. Cross Road Highway also has responsibility for two other key toll sections in Israel, the Carmel Tunnels in Haifa and the Fast-Lane at the entrance to Tel Aviv.
