The Carmel Tunnels were one of the largest and most complex BOT projects ever executed in Israel.
Four one-way tunnels, totaling about nine kilometers, were dug, connecting the Krayot Interchange, Ruppin Interchange and Hof Hacarmel Interchange. The tunnels’ maximum depth is 200 meters below ground. In addition, one of the largest interchanges in Israel was built, consisting of seven bridges on four levels.
Due to the proximity to residential neighborhoods - and out of concern for the residents and the environment - the project was conducted with strict adherence to environmental values and stakeholder engagement.
In 2011, the project won the first prize in the competition for excellence in construction and infrastructure, in the Super-Infrastructure category, by the Association of Builders of the Land.
