Transportation minister orders expansion of key highway after fatal crashes
Transportation Minister Israel Katz orders plans to be drawn up for expanding Route 90 following a series of fatal car crashes on the highway.
The road, which is Israel’s longest, runs north to south along Israel’s eastern border from Metula to Eilat.
As part of the plan, Route 90 will be expanded to two lanes in each direction with an option to add a third lane.
The announcement comes after a number of deadly crashes on the highway, with 17 people killed in recent weeks.
