Works have been inaugurated for the railway station in Mazkeret Batya, scheduled to open in mid-2018. Located near Rehovot on the Beersheva-Lod line, the new station is designed to make it easier for residents of Gedera, Mazkeret Batya, eastern Rehovot, and rural communities in the area to access the greater Tel Aviv area.
The project includes the 550-sq.m. railway station building, 1,500 sq.m. of passenger platforms stretching for 300 meters, an underground passageway to the platforms, two elevators, a bus terminal, 320 parking spaces, and eight areas for dropping off bus passengers.
The tender for building the station was published in March 2016, and Avraham Itzhak was declared the winner in early July with a NIS 48.7 million (EUR 12 million) bid.
