The Supreme Authority for the Development of the City of Riyadh has completed the overall plan for the development of Prince Abdullah Road as Part of the overall strategic plan for Riyadh city, reported the Arabic language daily newspaper Al-Jazirah. The Road was found to have instruction shortcomings, particularly in the design, according to a study by the Authority. Attention will be given to including more green spaces and landscaping of shopping areas for pedestrians. The Road will be designed to become a highway with three lanes in each direction, supported with a service road on both sides at a depth of three meters. In addition to the existing three tunnels, 10 tunnels will be added, bringing the total to 13 to mitigate the environment and visual effects, reinforce the smooth and safe flow of traffic between the fast lane and the service track, and hinder obstruction of the track of the electrical train. In order to improve the urban appearance and structure of the road, it was divided into ten areas, with specific uses and activities for each area. This should improve the urban environment and create a high-standard area that is safe for shopping and pedestrians. --more 1300 Local Time 1000 GMT
