Background

TransIsrael company is responsible for the Light Rail project between Haifa and Nazareth - a national mega-project that will serve the northern population and connect communities across the Galilee and Haifa metropolitan area.
‍
This unique project, being a first of its kind in Israel, combines urban and inter-urban public transportation.
‍
The Light Rail route will be a total length of 41 km and include 20 stations, connecting “Merkazit HaMifratz” station in Haifa to Nazareth.

The Haifa - Nazareth Light Rail Project will

Create an efficient, environmentally friendly, large scale public transportation network, serving the residents of northern Israel.

Strengthen towns in Israel’s periphery by connecting them to metropolitan centers.

Serve over 100,000 passengers daily.

Create accessible commercial centers and employment opportunities, stimulating economic growth.

Provide new business opportunities by driving the development of new commercial and residential real estate.

A Route of Growth: Haifa to Nazareth

The route will start at the Merkazit HaMifratz station in Haifa, the largest transportation hub in Israel with a wide array of transportation options: trains, city and intercity buses, BRT vehicles, cable cars to Haifa University and the Technion.

From there the line will go through the main business route in Kiryat Ata, around which new neighborhoods and a commercial center are planned.

Then the line will pass by the towns of Shfar’am, Bir El-Maksur, Mashhad, Reineh, and Nof HaGalil, one of the main cities in Northern Israel, which is an industry, services, trade and government hub for the area.

The final stop of the line is Nazareth, the largest Arab city in Israel, a key regional center, and a popular tourist destination for Christians from around the world.

Procurement approach

Infra 1 stage will involve projects of infrastructure, including grubbing, excavation, relocating existing communication, water and electricity infrastructure and building bridges, roads and under road passages.

The Church of the Annunciation

The Church of the Annunciation is a Latin Catholic Church in Nazareth which was established on the site where the Catholic tradition holds that the house of The Virgin Mary stood. It is believed that it is there that the angel Gabriel appeared to her and announced that she would conceive and bear the Son of God, Jesus - an event known as the Annunciation.
