High-speed rail network expansion project in Israel

project in planning

The project involves the expansion of a high-speed rail (HSR) network in Israel. The HSR system enables Israelis to access government and business hubs across the nation in less than 2 hours, regardless of their location. This fresh railway route is set to connect Kiryat Shmona in the north to Eilat, a prominent Red Sea destination in the distant south. Concurrently, initiatives are being developed to establish road connections between the Gulf nations and Israel, aiming to boost trade and lower shipping expenses via truck transportation. Termed the "land bridge," this corridor would traverse from Israel to the UAE, traversing Saudi Arabia and Jordan en route to Israeli Mediterranean ports.
