Extensive lighting and electrical infrastructure work will commence on November 1st along Road 555, connecting the settlements of Itamar and Alon Moreh in the Samaria region. The project, estimated at 18 million shekels and expected to take ten months, involves installing a new lighting line and an additional high-voltage power line. This initiative, the culmination of five years of planning and government coordination, aims to bolster infrastructure to support the vision of one million residents in Samaria. The new lighting will extend existing illumination from the Bracha Junction to Itamar, enhancing safety and security on a stretch of road that has previously seen deadly attacks, including the murder of Naama and Itam Henkin. The high-voltage power line will provide a backup power supply to Alon Moreh, which currently relies on a single line passing through Palestinian Authority areas, often complicating fault repairs. Yossi Dagan, Head of the Samaria Regional Council, announced the project and expressed gratitude to government ministers, including Transportation Minister Miri Regev, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and Energy Minister Eli Cohen, as well as the managements of the Electric Company, Netivei Israel, and the Civil Administration. Temporary traffic arrangements will be in place during the construction period.
