A new multi-modal Transportation Hub is being developed at the Moshe Dayan Interchange in Rishon LeZion, located on the Ayalon Highway. This 120,000 square meter project will integrate the new Red, Green, and Brown Light Rail lines, multiple bus routes, and an expanded Moshe Dayan Israel Rail station.
The Hub’s daily capacity is expected to be approx. 50,000 passengers. The hub will enhance neighborhood connectivity, offering high-quality public spaces and recreational facilities alongside mixed-use buildings. Key features include a public plaza and expansive pedestrian pathways, linking all transit modes and future developments. The completed hub will connect both sides of the city of Rishon LeZion and provide a central gathering space for locals and visitors, becoming a landmark for urban transportation in Israel. Through the integration of diverse transit options, high-quality public spaces, and support for mixed-use development, the hub aims to enhance connectivity, urban mobility, and overall quality of life. The project is a collaboration with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM).
