Significant changes to public transportation routes in central and northern Tel Aviv-Yafo are set to take effect due to ongoing infrastructure work and the construction of the light rail system. These changes include nightly road closures and route alterations for major bus lines, prompting drivers and passengers to prepare for disruptions. The work, managed by NTA Metropolitan Mass Transit System, will lead to the closure of key street sections on Thursday, October 29, between 10 PM and 5 AM the following morning. Specifically, sections of Allenby Street will be closed between Yarkon and Pinsker Streets, and between King George and Montefiore Streets. Additionally, Grozenberg Street between Nachalat Binyamin and Allenby, and Montefiore Street between Yavne and Allenby, will be shut to traffic. Resident access will be permitted under traffic controller guidance, and noise disturbances are possible. Changes to public transport routes and stations will be in effect, with details available via the "Kol-Kav" hotline. In the northeast of the city, nightly disruptions began Sunday, October 25, and will continue until Thursday, October 29, from 10 PM to 5 AM. Raul Wallenberg Street will be closed northbound between HaBarzel and HaNechoshet Streets, rerouting bus line 634 towards Atidim Terminal via HaMashmeret HaYarden and Dvora HaNevia Streets. Affected bus stops on Raul Wallenberg will be temporarily canceled, with alternative stops on HaMashmeret HaYarden. Furthermore, starting Sunday, the bus stop at 30 Haim Levanon Street near the Standards Institution will be canceled for lines 10, 25, and 289 heading towards Chen, Ben Gurion Terminal, and Holon until further notice. A more extensive closure is scheduled for the weekend: from Thursday, October 29, at 9 PM until Friday, October 30, at 8 AM, the intersection of Shalom Rosenfeld and Haim Levanon Streets will be completely blocked. This closure will impact Shalom Rosenfeld Street between Haim Levanon and George Wise Square, and Haim Levanon Street between Reading Street and George Wise Square. Consequently, routes 474 and 506 will have their paths altered, and numerous bus stops around the University campus, including those near the Eretz Israel Museum, Broshim Campus, Engineering Faculty, Nature Museum, and the School of Medicine, will not operate normally. As previously reported, for approximately two months starting last week, the routes of eight bus lines serving the Reading Terminal area in the Kochav HaTzafon neighborhood of Tel Aviv-Yafo have been modified due to progress on the Green Line light rail construction. These lines include 8, 33, 68, 193, 270, 272, 418, and 480.
