It is located in the median of the Ayalon Highway at the HaShalom interchange, near the city's main commercial area and HaKirya IDF base.

The station was built by the Polish company Mostostal Warszawa[2] and opened in 1996 with two tracks served by two side platforms.

Exit-only stairways were opened in 2008 to provide direct access to bus stops on the southern side of HaShalom Road.

HaShalom Road continues east toward Givatayim and Ramat Gan while Kaplan Street proceeds west into Tel Aviv.

The buses serving the station area are operated primarily by Egged and Dan, as well as Kavim, Superbus, Afikim and Nateev Express.
