Construction on five underground stations in Tel Aviv is scheduled to start later this year, beginning the first phase of the light rail construction. Sources at the municipality say that they expect traffic will be disrupted until 2021, particularly on Begin, Yehuda Halevy, and Jabotinsky streets. The first stage of construction will include the excavation of the areas where the future stations will be built.
The works are expected to continue until 2021, and while they are underway, traffic throughout the city will be affected. The project site where worst traffic disruption is expected is the Carlebach station project, during construction of which traffic will be redirected from Begin Road, Carlebach, Hamasger, Lincoln, Hataasiya, Hamelacha, Yitzhak Sadeh, and Rival streets.
The Red Line, which will be 24 kilometers long, will pass through the cities of Petach Tikva, Bnei Brak, Ramat Gan, Tel Aviv, and Bat Yam. 13 of the 24 kilometers will be on street level, and 11 will be underground. Of the 34 stations along the route, 10 will be underground.
