Saudi ministry completes major infrastructure upgrades for Haj
The ministry completed the project through a comprehensive package of development works and field interventions designed to enhance traffic flow and improve mobility efficiency
The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing has completed preparations for the road and infrastructure network in Makkah and the holy sites for Hajj. This includes implementing over 11m linear meters of roads.
The ministry achieved this through a comprehensive package of development works and field interventions. These efforts aimed to enhance traffic flow and improve mobility efficiency in densely populated areas. In addition to road construction, the ministry also worked on the maintenance and development of approximately 74m sqm of road surfaces.
To further strengthen the traffic network and support mobility efficiency in Makkah and the holy sites during the Hajj season, the ministry also asphalted over 1.2m sqm.
The plan also included enhancing the readiness of 123 bridges and 44 pedestrian and vehicle tunnels. Additionally, infrastructure improvement works were carried out along traffic routes. These efforts contributed to improved road safety and more efficient movement in crucial areas and around the holy sites.
The ministry emphasised that these efforts are part of an integrated operational system. This system aims to enhance the efficiency of municipal infrastructure, improve traffic flow, and reduce congestion points in areas with high crowd density during the Hajj season.
