Route 471 (Israel)
Route in Israel
Highway 471 (Hebrew: כביש 471), commonly called Maccabit Road, is a suburban expressway in the center of the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area in Israel. The expressway connects Highway 4 in the west with Route 444 in the east. It is part of a road system planned to provide improved access to Highway 6.
The construction of Highway 471 was plagued with bureaucracy, massive opposition from neighbouring municipalities and budget overruns, all of which caused major delays in construction.
Highway 471 was fully opened on October 16, 2014, after its eastern section, between Route 444 and Highway 6, was partially opened since 2008 without a name. However, there are still two at-grade intersections in its western section. After much delay, extensive works began in 2011 to construct large interchanges in place of these two intersections. When completed, the road will be a vital freeway highway between Highways 6 and 4.
