Downtown Tel Aviv traffic snarls after electrical cable collapses

A rush-hour collapse of an electrical cable in Tel Aviv is wreaking havoc on the metropolis’s already congested traffic.

An Electric Corporation cable’s collapse near the Ramat Gan diamond exchange, which lies on the Ayalon highway that cuts through central Tel Aviv, cut power to traffic lights in the teeming business district.

Streets afflicted by bumper-to-bumper confusion due to the disruption include: Abba Hillel, Bialik, Namir, Yitzhak Sadeh, Arlozorov and Hamasger.
