Saudi Arabia has inaugurated seven road infrastructure development projects worth SAR 243 mn in Al Madinah, spanning a total length of 138 km, according to a Saudi Transport and Logistics Services Ministry statement. The statement did not disclose the expected timeline for the completion of these projects.

The details: The work consists of completing the third Ring Road-Yanbu Expressway, Al Faqa’ali Mandasa Bawat road which connects to Yanbu, and completing Prince Nayef Bin Abdul Aziz Road and installing light works on the road. The projects will also involve completing work on the Talal-Al Qaiyah road, the Aqailat Tharb road, the Athaya road, and the Thrab road. Fadla Jaidah Al Satih road will also be connected with Shamisi Road.

The projects come as the Saudi government works to improve the transport and roads sector by linking cities, centers, villages and deserts within the kingdom as a means to boost its performance in transport and logistics and diversify its economy away from oil.
