PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Yitzhak Rabin Trans-Israel Highway (Highway 6) is a four-lane 53 mile fully-electronic toll road running parallel with the coast but through the centre of Israel near Tel Aviv.  The highway is Israel's only toll road and is acknowledged as the largest, most complex infrastructure project ever to have been undertaken in Israel. The project uses the latest electronic toll collection and license plate recognition technologies in combination to enable the toll road operators to collect tolls from patrons without toll booths or manual toll collection. The Trans-Israel Highway is the third toll facility built in the world that operates entirely without toll booths, otherwise known as open-road tolling. Exhibit 4.11 shows the headquarters and control center for this automated toll highway, located near Rosh HaAyin.

The highway, named after the former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, connects Hadera with Gedera. The highway will form a part of a longer 186-mile highway, with the State commencing plans for an extension from Iron to Wadi Milek. Exhibit 4.12 displays one of the major interchanges that connects the Trans-Israel Toll Highway to the regional arterials near Tel Aviv. This interchange was constructed by the State of Israel to help expedite the overall project.
