Haifa - Nazareth Light Rail Line PPP project in Israel

closed

The project involves constructing and operating a 41 km light rail line between the cities of Haifa and Nazareth, in the north of Israel. The project will feature 20 stops, traversing through Kiryat Ata, Shfaram, Bir al-Maksur, Reineh-Mashhad, and Upper Nazareth, with a fleet of 32 trains reaching speeds of up to 100 km/h, resulting in a maximum frequency of one train every four minutes. The system is estimated to accommodate up to 10,620 passengers per hour. The private partners will be responsible for constructing and operating the 20 stations, parking facilities, a depot, and a control center. With both interurban and municipal segments measuring 36 km and 7 km, respectively, the system will employ electrified tram-train technology to eliminate the need for train switching between segments.
