The Haifa municipality unanimously approved today a $3,500,000 subway project which would link downtown Haifa with residential Mount Carmel. The contractors are the French firm of Compagnie Dunquerquoise d’Enterprises, which has agreed to complete the job within 30 months. It is estimated that when the subway is completed travel between the business and residential areas will take eight minutes, as against the 30 minutes or more it now consumes.
