Riyadh Royal Commission launches new works to upgrade Taif Road at Taybah Street

The Royal Commission for Riyadh City has launched a new package of construction works as part of the Taif Road development project, which includes building a 311-meter-long, 36-meter-wide bridge at the intersection of Taif Road and Taybah Street. This bridge will connect the intersection of Taif Road and Najd Street in the west to the Western Ring Road in the east.

According to a statement on its X platform account, the Royal Commission said this new phase aims to improve traffic flow and reduce travel times by increasing the corridor's capacity to around 200,000 vehicles per day. The project will also provide four main lanes in each direction along a 15-kilometer stretch.

The Commission has implemented a comprehensive traffic management plan in coordination with relevant authorities to ensure the smooth flow of vehicles. The plan includes a temporary detour with three lanes in each direction at the intersection of Taif Road and Taybah Street.

The Royal Commission for Riyadh City explained that this detour will be activated starting July 31, 2026, alongside updates to digital systems and applications to provide regular and real-time information on the latest changes, guiding drivers to alternative routes.

This project is part of the Main and Ring Roads Program, which aims to implement and upgrade more than 500 kilometers of the existing road network and introduce new corridors to enhance connectivity, thereby strengthening transport infrastructure.
