Israel Railways is scheduled to carry out significant infrastructure work on the Ayalon Highway and Route 531 throughout the upcoming Shabbat, beginning Friday morning and concluding Saturday afternoon. The construction is part of a project to extend train platforms. While the lanes will not be completely closed, substantial traffic congestion is anticipated, particularly in the Gush Dan region. Israel Railways reportedly only informed local municipalities and the Waze navigation app about the disruptions, failing to provide broader public notification. The work will affect several sections of the Ayalon Highway, including northbound lanes between the Seven Stars and HaMaf'ilim interchanges and between the Ha'Nechama and KKL interchanges, as well as southbound lanes in similar segments. Additionally, Route 531 will see construction between the Kfar Saba and Hod HaSharon stations from Friday evening until Saturday afternoon.
