The Yitzhak Shamir project, estimated to cost approximately 102 million shekels, has significant advantages. It will be a new, regulated entrance to the city of Hadera from the coastal road (Highway 2), in the section between the Ariel Sharon Bridge and the Olga Interchange. It will also provide access to the integrated transportation center planned to be built in Energy Park, and will facilitate access to thousands of new housing units planned to be built in the coming years in the western area of the city.
At the same time, the new entrance is expected to significantly reduce traffic on Aharonson Street, which is currently defined as a red road, create paths for pedestrians and cyclists, and connect the existing neighborhoods to the project by planting trees and vegetation and establishing ornamental and play areas.
The project is expected to pave a two-lane road with three lanes in each direction, with one lane in each direction being used for public transportation, for optimal accessibility to the integrated transportation center. The paving of the section will complete a continuous east-west traffic axis, thus completing the city's central transverse axis, which will stretch between the Beit Eliezer neighborhood in eastern Hadera to the Givat Olga Interchange and the beach in the west of the city.
