Development of Riyadh’s Second Southern Ring Road continues with five new bridges and a tunnel to boost road efficiency and cut travel times.
Key Takeaways
AIWork is progressing on the development of Riyadh’s Second Southern Ring Road at its intersection with Imam Muslim Road, with the construction of five bridges totaling 838 meters in length and a 65-meter tunnel. The project aims to enhance the efficiency of the road network and improve traffic flow along one of the capital’s key corridors, helping to improve connectivity between neighborhoods and nearby areas while reducing travel times.
The project stretches 56 kilometers, from Jeddah Road in the west to New Kharj Road in the east, forming a new axis in southern Riyadh. Upon completion, the road’s future capacity is expected to reach 440,000 vehicles per day.

This project is part of the first phase of the program to develop Riyadh’s ring and main road corridors, implemented by the Royal Commission for Riyadh City. The program aims to upgrade and expand over 500 kilometers of road network, supporting the integration and sustainability of the urban transport system, keeping pace with the city’s rapid growth, and enhancing quality of life.
