Highway 70 is a highway, 44 km in length, running through the Western Galilee region in the Northern District of Israel. It connects the Lower Galilee to Kiryat Ata and Shlomi near Israel's border with Lebanon.

The highway runs concurrently with Highway 75 for 4 km between Ha'Amakim Interchange and Yagur Junction, then with Highway 6 for 5 km between Givot Alonim Interchange and Somekh Interchange.[1]

Overview

[edit]

Highway 70 begins at the Yagur interchange with Highway 75, then goes north toward Kiryat Ata and Shefaram and afterward continues through the Western Galilee until Shlomi.

At the end of the 1990s, the two junctions near the southern end of the road, at Bat Shlomo and Elyakim, were reconstructed into interchanges to enable uninterrupted travel from Shefaya junction to Yokneam junction.
