RIYADH: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visited the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, the Saudi Press Agency reported early on Friday.
MAKKAH: Authorities in Makkah said work on the intersection linking the Fourth Ring Road and King Faisal Road, also known as Al-Sail Street, has been completed and is now operational.
Officials described the project as part of broader efforts to upgrade the city’s transportation network and infrastructure, enhancing traffic flow and improving services for residents and visitors.
The project includes new direct lanes for vehicles traveling from the Fourth Ring Road to King Faisal Road in both directions — toward Al-Haram and Al-Sail — improving connectivity between key routes and boosting traffic efficiency at one of Makkah’s key intersections.
Officials said the development is expected to cut travel times and enhance road safety by separating intersecting traffic flows and reducing conflict points. It also aims to ease access to the central area and the holy sites during the Hajj and Umrah seasons.
