Starting the night of August 23, the westbound exit ramp to Ayalon North (Highway 20) will be closed overnight from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Wednesday. From midnight between August 27 and 30, the exit will be fully closed continuously until 5 a.m. Sunday morning. Traffic on Ayalon Highway itself will remain open.

Motorists are advised to plan alternate routes due to the exit closure and lane reduction. These upgrades are part of broader infrastructure improvements in the Ayalon area, alongside ongoing work on the KKL Bridge in Tel Aviv, which has also involved recent traffic arrangements and closures nearby.
