Route 531 (Hebrew: כביש 531), is a suburban freeway in the southern Sharon region of Israel, just north of the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area.
The highway currently begins at Kfar Malal and Kfar Saba and terminates at Highway 6. In 2008 a PFI tender was issued to continue constructing the highway westward towards Highway 20 (Ayalon Highway) near the Mediterranean coast. By doing so it will pass nearby several large cities and connect all the major north-south highways in the region: Highway 6, Highway 4 and Highway 20. The project also includes extending Highway 20 several kilometers northwards, connecting it and Route 531 to Highway 2 (the Coastal Highway) heading northbound at a new interchange near Ga'ash.
In addition, the project includes constructing a dual-track railway including a long railway tunnel and several passenger stations in the median of the highway along nearly the entire length of the road (using a design similar to the recently completed Route 431 suburban freeway). The new railway will connect the existing Hod HaSharon Railway Station to the Coastal Railway.
