The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) has commenced construction of two new Riyadh Metro stations within King Saud University, marking a key milestone in the Red Line extension project. The extension will strengthen connectivity between major educational and healthcare institutions, as well as prominent cultural, entertainment, and tourism destinations in Diriyah. The project supports Riyadh’s broader vision of developing an integrated, efficient, and sustainable public transport network aligned with the city’s future growth.

Previously, RCRC announced the award of the contract to design and construct the Red Line expansion, which will add 8.4 kilometers to the existing metro line. The extension runs from King Saud University to the Diriyah Gate Development Project and includes five new stations. Two of these stations will be located within King Saud University. The first will serve the University Medical City and health colleges,  and the second station will serve the University concourse.
