Israeli police have updated the list of intercity roads that are closed or open to traffic in the southern region of the country, which has been affected by severe flooding. Several major routes remain completely blocked to civilian vehicles, with patrol units on duty around the clock to assess road conditions.
Highway 90, a key artery, is blocked between the Lido and Arava junctions. However, passage between the Lido junction and the Kallia junction is permitted for residents of the Kallia settlement upon presentation of identification. The section of Highway 90 south of the Arava junction towards Eilat was reopened to traffic in both directions on the evening prior.
Several other important highways have been closed due to safety risks. Highway 40 is fully closed on a long stretch from Mitzpe Ramon to the Tzihor junction. In the western Negev, Highway 234 is blocked near the Tze'elim bridge due to overflowing wadi water levels.
Road services have managed to restore traffic on two local routes, Highway 507 and Highway 508, which are now fully open after safety checks. Traffic police continue to patrol affected areas, monitor infrastructure, and direct vehicles via safe detours, considering the weather conditions. Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution, avoid dangerous routes, stay clear of flooded areas, and follow official emergency service instructions.
