Good News: Route 90 to Eilat Reopens for Travelers

Great news for travelers heading to Eilat! Route 90, the main northern entrance and exit to Israel’s southern resort city, has reopened to traffic following a security assessment by the Southern District Police.

This is important news if you’re planning a trip to Eilat, as Route 90 is the primary highway connecting Israel’s Red Sea destination to the rest of the country. The road closure was due to flooding and flash floods in the region.

However, travelers should note that Routes 12, 40, and the section from Arava Junction to Neot Zohar remain closed due to ongoing flooding conditions. Police continue enforcement, rescue operations, and traffic management in these areas.

If you’re planning a visit to Eilat, it’s worth checking current road conditions before you travel, especially during the winter months when flash floods can occur in desert areas. The reopening of Route 90 means easier access to Eilat’s beaches, coral reefs, and desert attractions for international visitors.
