Jeddah launches Prince Majid Road expansion with eight lanes

As part of efforts to enhance the road network, improve traffic flow, and boost quality of life, Jeddah Municipality has begun a project to upgrade and expand a section of Prince Majid Road. The development covers approximately 1,900 meters, stretching from the intersection with Old Makkah Road to the intersection with Al-Falah Road.

In a statement, the municipality said the project will widen the road to 52 meters, providing four lanes in each direction for a total of eight lanes. This expansion aims to increase the road’s capacity, ease vehicle movement, and improve connectivity between neighborhoods and major intersecting roads.

Jeddah Municipality added that the project is significant due to its location on Prince Majid Road, a key corridor linking northern and southern Jeddah. The road also facilitates access to vital facilities, including King Abdulaziz International Airport and sports venues. The upgrade is expected to improve traffic flow from central and southern Jeddah toward the airport and enhance mobility across the connected road network.

According to the statement, the project includes rehabilitating and organizing the area within the development zone, upgrading its infrastructure and urban appearance to keep pace with surrounding urban growth, and improving the quality of the built environment while making better use of adjacent spaces.

Jeddah Municipality emphasized that the project is part of its ongoing efforts to develop main corridors and improve infrastructure efficiency, supporting urban development and making it easier to access services and facilities. The initiative aligns with the Quality of Life Program, a key component of Saudi Vision 2030.
