Saudi’s New Road Project Connecting Makkah And Asir Nears Completion!
Saudi Arabia has just unveiled a new chapter in its ongoing commitment to road safety and connectivity with the near-completion of the Qunfudhah-Sabt Al Jarah road project
The General Authority for Roads announced that the 8-kilometer, two-lane concrete road, connecting the western regions of Makkah and Asir, is now officially open, according to a report by the Saudi Press Agency on Saturday.
This newly constructed road is more than just a stretch of pavement; it’s a game-changer for travelers
Designed to minimize accidents caused by vehicles skidding into valleys during torrential rains, the Qunfudhah-Sabt Al Jarah route includes three bridges, giving drivers a safer path that bypasses hazardous flood channels. Engineers have gone the extra mile to boost safety, installing over 100 guidance panels, 2,000 ground reflectors, and adding nearly 97,000 meters of fresh road markings and warning vibrations.
With these improvements, drivers can expect not only safer but also quicker journeys between Makkah and Asir
The new route is set to ease traffic flow and cut down travel time. The redesigned road brings a much-needed solution to a historically dangerous stretch, marking another milestone in Saudi Arabia’s broader efforts to modernize its infrastructure and enhance public safety on the roads.
