The Eastern Province Municipality has completed 98% of the project to complete the bridge extending Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz Road with Prince Mutaib Road, which is scheduled to be opened in the coming weeks, as part of the road initiatives projects currently being implemented in the Dammam metropolitan area.
The Secretariat explained that the project includes two bridges on the service roads of the Prince Mutaib Road intersection bridge with the railway, one in the east-west direction and the other in the west-east direction, thus allowing continuous movement on the railway line without the need to stop and wait for trains to pass, which saves time for road users and reduces the risk of crossing the railway, in line with plans aimed at eliminating the need for car crossing gates on railway lines within city limits.
She noted that the length of each bridge is approximately 650 linear meters and that all concrete work for the foundations, columns, and retaining walls, in addition to the concrete beams and slabs, has been completed for both bridges in both directions, stressing that the work is being carried out in accordance with the transport strategy to achieve a number of key objectives, to raise the efficiency of roads and traffic and improve the quality of life in the Eastern Province.
