Highway 41 is a major arterial road in south-central Israel. It connects Highway 4 and Highway 7 to the Port of Ashdod.
Upgrade
Within Ashdod, the road is being widened and reoriented. West of the former Hashmal Junction, instead of traveling west-southwest following Nir Galim Rd. and Tel Mor Rd. to Laskov Rd., the road has been rebuilt to continue due west ending at the new entrance to the Ashdod Port. A traffic light controlled intersection now provides access to Nir Galim Rd to the southwest and a new road northward to Eshkol Power Station and new industrial and commercial zones associated with the port.[1]
East of Ashdod, the highway is undergoing reconstruction to upgrade it to a controlled-access highway.[2] Traffic controlled junctions at Highway 4 and Highway 42 have been replaced by multi-level interchanges. Eastward between Highway 4 and Highway 40 the road is being widened, new interchanges are being built at Beit Rabban and Gedera, and the junction at Kannot Youth Village will be eliminated. Upon completion, which as of June 2013 was scheduled for September 2014, this section of Highway 41 will be renumbered "7" directly connecting to the existing Highway 7. This new designation has begun to be used the most recent official documentation of the project.[3][4][5][6][7]
