en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) in Saudi Arabia has announced the commencement of the Imam Muslim Road Development Project, a key component of the second package of the Main Trunk and Ring Road Development Program. The project will upgrade a 12-kilometer municipal road section of Imam Muslim Road, with the scope of works including the construction of four main bridges, each spanning 150 meters, and increasing the road's capacity to accommodate 200,000 vehicles per day.
In a statement, the RCRC stated that the upgraded municipal road will feature three main lanes and two service roads in each direction. The works mark a new phase extending the project northwards to Dirab Road, which upon completion will provide a direct and seamless connection between the Southern Ring Road and Dirab Road. This improved connectivity will serve communities in southern Riyadh, enhance traffic capacity, and help alleviate congestion on several major arterial roads.
To support this phase of municipal road construction, new traffic diversions will be implemented. The current closures at the intersections of Imam Muslim Road with Al Itidal Road and Arafat Road will remain in effect. The RCRC statement indicated that vehicles will be diverted via designated service roads and alternative routes to ensure smooth and uninterrupted traffic flow during construction. In coordination with relevant authorities, the construction zones have been equipped with necessary directional and warning signs.
Digital mapping systems and navigation applications have also been updated to help maintain smooth traffic flow. A dedicated page has also been launched on the RCRC's official website to provide the public with real-time project updates and relevant municipal road information. The project is part of ongoing efforts to enhance Riyadh's urban road network and improve traffic flow, and the completed municipal road upgrade will further strengthen the capacity of Imam Muslim Road as a major arterial route.
