Riyadh Royal Commission builds 920-meter bridge and tunnel at key Thumamah Road intersection

The Royal Commission for Riyadh City is currently building an impressive 920-meter bridge and a 1,600-meter tunnel at the key intersection of Thumamah Road and Sheikh Hassan bin Hussein bin Ali Road. This significant construction project is part of the commission's efforts to enhance the efficiency and connectivity of the eastern section of Thumamah Road.

The new bridge and tunnel will not only improve traffic flow but also increase the road's capacity to accommodate over 200,000 vehicles daily. Additionally, the project is expected to reduce travel times and improve overall traffic service levels.

As part of the ongoing development of Riyadh's ring and main road corridors, this initiative is designed to boost the city's road network. Over the course of 8 kilometers, the project will see the construction of three bridges and three tunnels.

To ensure a smooth transition during construction, a new traffic detour will be implemented at the intersection, providing an alternative route parallel to Thumamah Road. This detour will be accompanied by the preparation of alternative roads and enhanced signage to guide vehicle movement and maintain road user safety. Coordination with relevant authorities will be crucial in executing these measures.
