RIYADH — The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) is implementing a major road network development project around the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) as part of the broader Riyadh Ring Roads and Main Roads Development Program.

The project covers approximately 20 kilometers and focuses on upgrading roads surrounding KAFD to improve traffic flow and connectivity in the capital.

Works include the enhancement of three major intersections and the construction of 19 bridges designed to ease congestion and improve access to the district and surrounding areas.

The development also targets three of Riyadh’s most important transport corridors: the Northern Ring Road, Al-Takhassusi Road, and King Fahd Road.

The upgrades aim to raise service levels, reduce traffic bottlenecks, and strengthen links between key parts of the city.

Construction includes the installation of 227 structural columns, ranging in height from 3.5 meters to 29.5 meters, underscoring the scale and engineering complexity of the project.

Once completed, the program is expected to enhance traffic efficiency, increase average vehicle speeds, shorten travel times, and support a more integrated and reliable road network across Riyadh.
