The Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites has recently inaugurated new road lanes along the Third Ring Road and Prince Saud Al Faisal Road, significantly reducing travel times by over 90 percent. The expansion includes a 1.5-kilometer stretch on the Third Ring Road, connecting the Prince Metab intersection to the Grand Mosque intersection via the Prince Sultan intersection.
Additionally, the final section of Prince Saud Al Faisal Road, linking the Prince Mohammed bin Salman axis to Abdulqadir Koshak Street through the Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz intersection, has also been opened. These developments are part of broader infrastructure projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion, enhancing road safety, and facilitating smoother access for residents, visitors, and pilgrims during the Hajj and Umrah seasons.
