The Project That’s Transforming Traffic
Riyadh drivers, get ready for smoother rides! As part of its continued efforts to develop the city’s road network, the Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) has kicked off the Othman Bin Affan Road and King Salman Road development project. Spanning 4.3 kilometers, crews are building seven new bridges and upgrading lanes. Moreover, these changes will boost capacity to handle around 500,000 vehicles daily.
Consequently, connectivity between key northern routes will skyrocket.
Smart Detours and Future Wins
RCRC engineers are upgrading major intersections at King Salman and Anas bin Malik Roads with multi-lane bridges. This move links northern and southern sections seamlessly. Meanwhile, a temporary traffic diversion started on May 21, 2026, but it keeps three lanes open in each direction.
Furthermore, clear signage, real-time app updates, and a dedicated project webpage keep everyone informed. Traffic will flow better soon!
