RCRC Achieves 65% Completion on Taif Road Extension Project

The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) has announced significant progress on the Taif Road extension project, which has now reached 65% completion. The project is a key component of the first batch of the Main & Ring Road Axes Development Program, launched by RCRC with a total investment of SAR 13 billion. Spanning 9.7 kilometers from the Laban neighborhood to the Qiddiya project, the road serves as a major arterial route to accommodate the city’s rapid growth. It features four main lanes and is designed to handle traffic volumes of up to 440,000 vehicles per day.

A standout feature of the project is the “Wadi Bridge,” a landmark structure spanning 500 meters in length and 47 meters in width, serving as a defining engineering element of the development. Upon completion, the project will create a direct and seamless link between residential neighborhoods and major development destinations, most notably Qiddiya City. This enhanced connectivity is expected to support accelerated urban growth and promote a more integrated urban fabric across Riyadh.

Ultimately, the Taif Road extension forms part of a broader infrastructure development framework aimed at enhancing quality of life. It aligns closely with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to create a seamlessly connected, sustainable, and thriving city.
