Work will commence on November 1st to install lighting on Route 555 between the settlements of Itamar and Allon Moreh, and to lay an additional high-voltage power line. The NIS 18 million (approximately $7 million) project, expected to take ten months, will be carried out by the Israel Electric Corporation and Netivei Yisrael. According to the Samaria Regional Council, the project was advanced over five years. The new lighting will complete a previously illuminated section of the road up to Itamar, enhancing safety on the route where Naama and Eitam Henkin were murdered. The additional power line aims to provide backup for Allon Moreh and improve supply stability. Currently, the settlement relies on a single high-voltage line from the Jordan Valley, which passes through Palestinian Authority territory, complicating maintenance and repairs. Yossi Dagan, Head of the Samaria Regional Council, stated, "The vision of one million residents in Samaria begins with infrastructure. We are building the Samaria of tomorrow today, with brighter, safer roads and stable electricity supply." Temporary traffic arrangements will be in place during construction, and drivers are urged to proceed with caution and follow instructions.
