Express Line Highway 1, Toll road in Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area, Israel

The Express Line on Highway 1 is a 13-kilometre toll lane running westbound from the Ben-Gurion interchange to the Kibbutz Galuyot interchange, built on the highway's former left lane. A rigid barrier separates it from the ordinary lanes except along its last half kilometre, where plastic posts divide them. Midway, east of the Shapirim interchange, six new bridges link the lane to a park-and-ride car park.

The lane grew out of an August 1997 government decision and the 2000 Public Transportation Highways Act. In 2004 it was approved as a build-operate-transfer project, and the Finance Ministry signed the contract with Shapir Engineering and Industry in August 2007. After funding stops and a dispute over the last 600 metres near the Kibbutz Galuyot interchange, it opened on 7 January 2011.

The lane is free for buses, cars carrying four or more people and vehicles used by disabled drivers; motorcycles pay half the toll. Charges are collected by cameras and automatic identification, as on Route 6, and subscribers can register in advance and drive without stopping at the park-and-ride payment machines.

The lane runs westbound only, from the Ben-Gurion interchange to the Kibbutz Galuyot interchange, and the park-and-ride lot east of the Shapirim interchange is the sole exit point before the lane ends. Drivers coming from the east cannot reach the lot directly; they enter through the main entrance near Ben-Gurion. Buses, cars with four or more occupants and vehicles for the disabled pay no toll, while motorcycles pay half.

The park-and-ride lot east of the Shapirim interchange is the only exit point along the 13-kilometre lane; drivers entering at Ben-Gurion interchange cannot leave at Shapirim, Ganot or Kibbutz Galuyot interchanges. A 2004 petition by the Adam Teva V'Din association obliged the state to plan a railway station on the old rail line inside the lot, though the state resisted, citing nearby Kfar Chabad station less than two kilometres away.
