Green light for the establishment of the first metro station in Gush Dan: this is what it will look like

The Gush Dan metro project has received the green light for the establishment of its first station. Work is expected to begin in 2027, and the first line will open in 2037. About 20 stations will be built in Tel Aviv, and 109 across the entire metropolis. Meital Lehavi, deputy mayor, reported on massive staging sites. Business owners along the route are expected to be affected, and thousands of expropriation notices have been sent.

The Gush Dan metro project is moving forward with final approval for the establishment of the first station. Work is expected to begin in 2027, and the first line will open only in 2037, at least four decades after the idea was first raised. Meital Lehavi, deputy mayor of Tel Aviv, reported that work will begin station by station, with the first being massive staging sites from which 'moles' will be launched to dig tunnels. In Tel Aviv alone, about 20 stations are expected, and across the entire metropolis, 109 stations. Key sites include Tsomet HaShalom, Habima Square, and the Carmelit. The article notes that business owners along the route are expected to suffer economically, and that dozens of residential and commercial units are slated for demolition, with thousands of expropriation notices already sent. Estimates are for 15–20 years of work, subject to no delays.
