Israel's National Licensing Bureau has issued the first construction permit for a metro station in the Gush Dan metropolitan area. The permit allows for the commencement of the underground construction phase of the "Ariel Sharon Park" station on the M3 line. Previously, project activities were limited to design and the relocation of existing infrastructure. The construction will involve excavating and removing approximately 300,000 cubic meters of soil, building underground retaining walls reaching about 38 meters deep secured by nine rows of ground anchors, and preparing the infrastructure for the station and metro tracks. These initial construction works are expected to take around 25 months.

The M3 line is one of three metro lines being built in Gush Dan by the state-owned company NETA. This line will form a ring connecting Bat Yam, Holon, Ariel Sharon Park, Bikat Ono, the Tel HaShomer hospital area, Petah Tikva, Ramat HaHayal, Kiryat Shaul, Glilot, Ramat HaSharon, and Herzliya. A branch line will extend to Ben Gurion Airport, and the main depot will be located in Or Yehuda.
