Major Tel Aviv Highway Closure: Travel Tips for Visitors

January 5, 2026

If you’re planning to visit Tel Aviv soon, here’s important travel info that could affect your trip. The main Ayalon North highway will be closed for three nights as part of construction work for a new bridge in Tel Aviv.

The closure affects the central traffic artery between the Shalom Interchange and the Halakha Interchange, including the entrance to Ayalon North at the Shalom Interchange. This is a major route that many visitors use when traveling between Ben Gurion Airport and central Tel Aviv.

While the specific dates weren’t provided in the original report, we recommend checking current traffic conditions if you’re staying in Tel Aviv during this period. Consider using alternative routes or allowing extra travel time, especially if you’re heading to or from the airport.

Pro tip: If you’re booking airport transfers with IsraStar Tours during this time, our drivers will automatically plan alternative routes to ensure you reach your destination on time. Always factor in potential delays when planning your Israel itinerary, especially around major infrastructure projects in Tel Aviv.
