The idea of a tunnel crossing the Carmel arose since the British Mandate ruled the country. Decades later, along with reduced travel times, countless allegations have been made against the company that operates the Carmel Tunnels.
A Research made by Samuel Neaman institute and “EcoFinance”, found that since the opening of the tunnels, there has been a 40 percent drop in transportation loads during peak hours on major arteries, along with savings of about six million liters of fuel annually, reduced air pollution and a positive significant change in air quality.
