Highway 71 is an east-west highway that passes through the eastern Jezreel Valley and the Beit She'an Valley, below the north slopes of the Gilboa mountains, in northern Israel. The road follows a path parallel to the Harod Creek in the Harod Valley and to the Jezreel Valley railway. It is 35km (22miles) long and leads from Afula in the west, via Beit She'an, to the Jordan River Border Crossing in the east. The Navot interchange located approximately southeast of Afula provides a shortcut via Route 675 through the Ta'anakh region from Highway 71 and Beit She'an to Highway 65 and central Israel.
The portion of the highway between the Navot interchange and Yissachar junction is a four-lane limited-access road, with the rest of the highway consisting of two lanes. In 2020, the National Roads Authority (Netivei Yisrael) published a design-build contract to upgrade the remainder of the highway from Yissachar to Beit She'an to a four-lane limited access road and conversion most of the main intersections to interchanges. This busy section serves local and inter-city traffic to Beit She'an, including frequent freight traffic to and from the border crossing with Jordan.
