The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) announced that construction is speeding up on two new bridges running parallel to the Wadi Laban Suspension Bridge in western Riyadh, according to the Saudi Gazette.
The project, an integral part of the Main and Ring Road Axes Development Program, aims to ease traffic flow and increase capacity along a key corridor that handls more than 400,000 vehicles daily.
The RCRC revealed that construction has reached 28% completion on the project, which boasts two parallel bridges. Each bridge will be 763 meters long and will rise between 161 and 175 meters in height.
Interestingly, the design relies on four main pillars, while engineers are using advanced construction techniques to meet the highest technical and operational standards.
Construction teams also utelize specialized equipment and advanced technologies, supported by integrated operational and traffic management plans that keep uninterrupted traffic flow around the project site.
The commission underscored that teams implement strict safety and quality procedures throughout all phases of execution and maintain continuous coordination between engineering, operational, and field units.
After completion, the project will reduce travel times by up to 75% and boost the corridor’s capacity by 82%.
It will further solidify connectivity between western Riyadh and key transport axes and enhance mobility across a more efficient and sustainable urban transport network.
