Ayalon Highway is a major intracity freeway in Israel. The road runs along Tel Aviv’s center eastern border from north to south and connects all of the major highways leading to the city. The Ayalon Highway is heavily travelled. It consists of a multi-lane highway with a multi-track railway located between the opposite travel lanes. Some of the highway’s route is along the Ayalon River, hence its name. The photo was taken on December 16, 2007.
