History

The previous at-grade intersection at Golani Junction experienced frequent traffic congestion on weekends and holidays when many Israelis travelled to the north of the country on vacation. Construction began in 2012 on an interchange to replace the former junction at a cost of NIS 300 million.<ref name="israeltoday" /><ref name="jpost1" /> The interchange opened for traffic in August 2013.<ref name="israeltoday" />
