A new project will improve access to Ben Gurion Airport. The Ben Gurion Airport West Interchange will be built on Road 1, the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway. It will have three bridges and a new airport entrance. The entrance will feature nine security lanes for cars.
The project will cost NIS 1 billion and finish by 2029. Work began in late 2022 near the Shappirim Interchange. The Israel Airports Authority and Netivei Israel will soon release tenders to advance construction.
The new interchange will save time for drivers from Tel Aviv. Currently, they must pass the airport, turn around, and drive back to Terminal 3. The new setup will cut travel time and reduce congestion on Road 1. This will help traffic flow between the airport and Kfar Habad.
By 2030, the airport is expected to serve 30 million passengers yearly. Plans for the interchange began over 20 years ago. A 2018 study confirmed the project’s feasibility.
Travelers will also benefit from our premium transportation options. Luxury van transfers in Mercedes vans will enhance the travel experience. These services are ideal for families, small groups, or business travelers. Vans provide ample luggage space, reclining seats, and climate control for a relaxing ride. Professional drivers ensure timely and smooth transfers to and from the airport.
This development will improve efficiency for drivers and passengers alike.
