This alternative axis alleviates the traffic loads in Haifa and reduces the air pollution in the city. The project involved soil works, support walls, bridging, construction and road – building, all carried out while cooperating with environmental organizations during the various phases of planning. During construction permanent monitoring of noise levels and pollution were conducted, a help line had been established, available 24 hours a day for residents’ applications and dealing with their complaints.
