Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has attended a ceremony in the Haifa Bay area, Israel, to celebrate the completion of the Kishon River natural gas pipeline.
The pipeline connects the Haifa Bay area to the country’s existing natural gas infrastructure to alleviate the existing bottleneck of infrastructure and energy as well as the significant air pollution in the Haifa Bay region.
The route of the natural gas pipeline begins on the Dor coast between Haifa and Hadera, passes via Yokneam into the Kishon River basin and ends in the Haifa Bay area.
Two section of the pipeline from the Dor coast to Yokneam and from Haifa Bay to the Valleys interchange had already been laid. The recently completed section from Yokneam to Haifa Bay completes the missing section.
Israel Natural Gas Lines Ltd commenced construction on the pipeline in January 2010.
