Riyadh Municipality has signed five contracts, worth SR6bn ($1.6bn), to improve road quality in the capital.
The major road improvement spend is in line with the municipality’s strategic plans to enhance mobility and create a vibrant Riyadh that meets the highest standards of efficiency and sustainability.
The contracts entail rehabilitating and asphalting the road network over an area of 83 million square meters over a five-year period.
Riyadh road improvements
These upgrades will improve road quality, ensure safe mobility, and bring the city’s infrastructure up to international standards.
To ensure efficient prioritisation, the municipality has divided the city into five zones:
- North
- South
- East
- West
- Central
This zoning system allows for accurate assessment of road conditions and the identification of key areas for improvement.
The Riyadh Municipality’s investment in road infrastructure is a significant step toward achieving the goals of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
By upgrading the capital’s roads, the municipality aims to improve the quality of life, create a sustainable environment, and contribute to the overall prosperity of the region.
