This initiative is a critical component of Vision 2030, aimed at transforming Riyadh into one of the world’s leading cities and a central hub for sustainable transportation and logistics services in the Middle East.
The RCRC Board of Directors has confirmed that additional contracts for the subsequent phases of the program will be announced in the near future.

Vision 2030 and the Future of Riyadh’s Infrastructure
The Riyadh Main Ring Roads Development Program was announced by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, who also serves as the chairman of the RCRC Board of Directors. The program involves the development of more than 500 kilometers of Riyadh’s road network. The first phase of these projects is expected to be completed within three to four years.
These developments are crucial to positioning Riyadh as a major global city, enhancing its infrastructure, and providing state-of-the-art transportation solutions that align with the broader objectives of Vision 2030.
