The Ayalon Highway will experience significant closures in both directions near Herzliya throughout the upcoming weekend due to extensive Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) work. The first closure begins Thursday at 11:30 PM and lasts until Friday at 4:00 PM. A second, extended closure will commence Saturday night at 11:00 PM and continue until Sunday morning at 5:00 AM. Specific sections affected include northbound lanes from the Glilot East Interchange to the Shivat HaKochavim Interchange, with the ramp from Highway 5 to Highway 20 North being closed, though the ramp from Shivat HaKochavim to Highway 20 North will remain open. Southbound lanes will be closed from the Ha'apilim Interchange to the Glilot East Interchange, with the ramp from Shivat HaKochavim to Highway 20 South and the ramp from Highway 543 at the Shefayim East Interchange to Highway 20 South also impacted. Drivers are advised to use alternative routes such as Highway 2 (Coastal Highway), Highway 4, and Highway 5. Both the IEC and the police recommend using navigation apps to plan journeys during these periods. Compounding potential traffic issues, Israel Railways will also be conducting work throughout the weekend, which could exacerbate expected congestion.
