Israel Railways to cut Modi'in service this weekend to connect new 431 line to rail network

Israel Railways announced that Modi'in's two train stations, Modi'in Center and Pa'ate Modi'in, will experience service disruptions this weekend as part of efforts to integrate the new Track 431 railway project into the existing network. The disruptions include reduced services between Modi'in and Ben-Gurion Airport from Thursday at 10:00 p.m. to Sunday at 4:00 a.m., with a free shuttle service provided during this period. On Saturday night, both Modi'in stations will be closed entirely, impacting the Modi'in-Jerusalem line. While the closures are linked to the Track 431 project, the exact connection remains unclear. The Track 431 project, named after Highway 431, aims to create a rail ring around the Gush Dan region by connecting Jerusalem to the Shfela area and Israel's southern coast, alongside linking Rishon Lezion to Modi'in. Once completed in 2028, it will merge with Track 531 to form a comprehensive rail loop, enhancing connectivity and reducing congestion. Additional infrastructure improvements include station renovations, new stations, and the construction of a fourth track on the Ayalon corridor to boost capacity.
