4. Connectivity: Multimodal transport capabilities
- Israel’s road and railway infrastructure is undergoing major improvement. New roads and railway lines are being built, and existing ones are being upgraded, especially in the periphery. The three longitudinal roads (no. 2, 4 and 6) are interconnected with numerous transversal roads. Future plans for the southern district include widening and upgrading the main road to and from Be’er Sheva in view of the relocation of many army bases to the Negev area.

- Israel Railway Company’s cargo division runs direct lines from the Port of Ashdod southeast to Be’er Sheva, Dimona and Neot Hovav terminals. The railway also provides a northward conveyance option to freight terminals in Bnei Brak and Hadera or the freight station in Lod. See the attached map:
