 In 1988, the tracks leading to the station (along the present Pinchas Sapir Street) were shifted eastwards as works on the Ayalon Highway and railway progressed southwards.The station's platforms were then moved to their current location and a pedestrian bridge over the Ayalon Highway was built to connect them to the terminal building to the west.The station with its relocated tracks was opened to the public on January 10, 1988, and the official opening took place on May 3 of the same year.
