The private sector firm Derech Eretz group was contracted to construct the road and oversee the operation of the highway. It has three shareholders: Africa-Israel, CHIC-Canadian Highways and Housing and Construction Limited.
Private sector firms Raytheon and Transdyn provided the electronic tolling and traffic management systems. By bringing the two companies together to integrate Transdyn's traffic management system and Raytheon's open road electronic tolling system, the two companies formed a unified electronic toll and traffic management system, which was a technological breakthrough as well as an innovative initiative in public-private partnerships. At completion the highway will have in total 14 interchanges, 94 bridges and 50 aqueducts. Additionally, the road will have two 500m tunnels in Hadid. The project will integrate 100km of farm service roads and 44km of lateral roads. There will be a central operations and control centre at the Nachshonim interchange. The project involves 1,700 direct and approximately 10,000 indirect employees.
