The government today approved the M2 metro line - the fourth plan among the plans for metro lines in the Gush Dan metropolis, the largest infrastructure project in Israel's history that will cost approximately NIS 150 billion, and sources estimate that it will even reach NIS 200 billion.
The length of the line approved today is 25 km, and it is an east-west axis that will connect the center of the metropolis with its eastern part. The route starts at the Yoseftal interchange in northern Holon, will pass through the south and central Tel Aviv, and will continue to Givatayim, Ramat Gan, Bnei Brak, Givat Shmuel and Petah Tikva , and will end near the Segula employment area of the city of Petah Tikva. The line will serve areas designated for urban renewal along with providing service to important metropolitan centers, including the Wolfson Hospital in Holon, the main business area of Tel Aviv, and Bar Ilan University.
The line will interface with other public transportation system lines - including two metro lines, the Shalom (1M), and Kfar Ganim (3M); Israel Railway stations - HaShalom in Tel Aviv and Segula in Petah Tikva; Stations of the light rail lines: the red line - the Hasmoneans, the green line - Habema Square, the purple line - Allenby, Bar Ilan and Kfar Ganim.
The metro project includes five plans: M1 which is divided into three sections - Holon-Rishon Lod, the Holon intersection through Tel Aviv to the Gilolit interchange, and a section that begins with Gilolit through Ramat Hasharon, Herzliya, Hod Hasharon, Kfar Saba and Ra'anana - and which the government needs to approve. Two more plans were approved: M2 Bat Yam, Tel Aviv-Givataim-Bnei Brak-Petah Tikva; M3 Bat Yam-Holon-Kiryat Ono and North Tel Aviv-Herzliya.
