The program is an integral part of Riyadh’s broader strategy to reshape the capital’s transport network, easing congestion and driving a new era of urban connectivity.
Key upgrades feature the expansion of Jeddah Road, spanning 29 kilometers and reinforced with 14 bridges and five lanes. This development aims to boost capacity along one of Riyadh’s busiest arteries.
Meanwhile, Taif Road will undergo a 15‑kilometre upgrade, accompanied by four bridges and four lanes to ensure smoother traffic flow across the capital.
Upgrades also include Thumamah Road, an eight‑kilometer stretch reinforced with three bridges and three tunnels to ease congestion and strengthen connectivity.
As for King Abdulaziz Road, it will see a 4.7‑kilometre upgrade with four bridges, while Othman bin Affan Road will undergo a 4.3‑kilometre expansion with seven bridges.
Upon completion, the projects are anticipated to transform Riyadh’s expanding road network, ensuring smoother mobility, safety, and greater travel efficiency.
