Traffic diverted near KAFD as Riyadh pushes ahead with major road upgrades
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) announced on Tuesday the implementation of traffic diversions on the Northern Ring Road and Al-Takhassusi Street as part of a major infrastructure project to develop the road network surrounding the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD). The KAFD project is a central component of the broader Riyadh Ring Road and Main Roads Development Program, which aims to improve transportation flow and accessibility across the capital. The RCRC confirmed that this initiative is one of eight strategic developments currently underway in the second phase of the program, with a total investment exceeding SR8 billion. The ongoing work near KAFD involves the construction of three new intersections and 19 bridges over a 20-kilometer stretch. These enhancements are designed to ease access to the financial district, which plays a pivotal role in Riyadh's urban and economic transformation. The Royal Commission is working in close coordination with relevant authorities to manage the diversions and maintain smooth traffic flow throughout the construction period. The second phase is expected to be completed within approximately three years. The first phase of the road network development program, which began in August 2024, included four major projects with a combined cost of SR13 billion.
