Makkah, As a part of its efforts for the Hajj season, the Roads General Authority (RGA) has undertaken a comprehensive inspection program, focusing on over 1,000 bridges leading to the holy sites to ensure the safety and well-being of pilgrims travelling to and from Makkah and Madinah.
The authority’s efforts extend beyond bridge inspections. It has implemented a range of safety and maintenance measures across the Kingdom’s road network, ensuring a smooth and secure journey for pilgrims from the moment they enter the country at border crossings. Cutting-edge technologies have been utilized to survey all roads leading to the holy sites, allowing for thorough evaluation and necessary maintenance work.
By prioritizing bridge inspections and implementing these broader measures, the RGA aims to enhance the overall road user experience while significantly raising the safety standards for pilgrims undertaking their sacred journey.
