Madinah: The Roads General Authority (RGA) has announced that the roads in Madinah are ready to welcome pilgrims who wish to travel to Madinah after performing the Hajj rituals. The authority has conducted various maintenance and safety works to ensure the pilgrims’ safety. These works include surveying over 3,000 km of roads, removing over 100,000 square meters of sand dunes from the roadsides, and carrying out scraping and asphalting work on over 132 km of roads. The authority has surveyed and repaired road shoulders over 1,017 km of roadways and cleaned over 1,000 valley drain locations.
The RGA has utilised advanced technologies in all of its work, including the world’s largest road survey and assessment fleet of 18 vehicles. Additionally, the authority has introduced an asphalt recycling machine for the first time, which scrapes and repaves the asphalt in the same location, thereby facilitating the maintenance process to ensure the best services for pilgrims.
The Roads General Authority is dedicated to
providing all pilgrims with a safe and smooth journey, ensuring they can travel easily and safely between the holy sites in Madinah.
