TheNew Jezreel Valley Railway (Hebrew:מסילת העמק) is a railway ofIsrael Railways (IR), which connectsHaifa withBeit She'an in theJezreel Valley. The railway line was opened to the public on October 16, 2016.^[1] It is a successor to the 1905 OttomanJezreel Valley railway.

History

[edit]

The railway passes almost identically on the old western section of the formerHaifa - Dar'ā railway line which was shut down in 1951. Since the 1990s, there have been repeated attempts to re-create the Jezreel Valley railway line. On the one hand, this is one of the most productive agricultural areas of Israel, on the other hand, the traffic in the Greater Haifa area, especially by commuters, is heavily overloaded.

In 2011, the plans for the new railway line were approved. The construction of the line began in 2012, and the railway line was completed in 2016. On August 29, 2016, the route was inaugurated by the Israeli Minister of TransportationIsrael Katz. The construction cost was just over $ 1 billion.^[2]

The railway line was opened to the public on October 16, 2016.^[1]

An extension of the railway line to Israel's border with Jordan, and maybe intoJordan, is currently being considered.^[3]
