Shoket Interchange is an interchange in the Negev located between Beersheba and Meitar. It is the southern terminus of Highway 6, Israel's central and longest controlled-access highway, also known as the Trans-Israel Highway. Since the continuation of Highway 6 has been suspended, it is unknown if and when the Shoket Interchange will stop being the terminus of Highway 6. At the Shoket Interchange, Highway 6 connects with Highway 31 and Highway 60 at two different locations. The distance between Interchange Shoket South and Interchange Shoket West is 3.4 kilometers. The distance from Shoket West to the nearby Lakiya Interchange is 4.0 kilometers. The interchange is named after the nearby located Tel Shoket. The Shoket Interchange opened to traffic in November–December 2016 upon the opening of Highway 6 between Shoket Interchange and Lakiya Interchange, after it was initially planned to open in 2015. The southern section opened in November 2016, the "western" section in December. (note that the "west" section is actually slightly east of the south section) The Lakiya diamond interchange to the northwest was opened in April 2016.
