Highway 989 is a regional route in the northern Golan, connecting Sa'ar on Highway 99 with Majdal Shams on Highway 98.
History
The road was paved by the Jewish National Fund to connect Neve Ativ to Banias with a shorter route than Highway 99 through Masade.[1] The road was designed to carry the bulk of the traffic of travellers to the Mount Hermon ski resort.[2] Work on the road began at the end of 1971 and ended at the beginning of 1973.[3] The tarring of the road with asphalt was carried out by the Maatz, which finished its section in August 1973.[4]
