RIYADH ( WNAM MONITORING): King Salman directed on Tuesday that the major airport road in the city of Madinah be named “Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Road.”
The 13 km-long road connects the Prophet’s Mosque to King Salman bin Abdulaziz Road, leading to Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport and the Royal Terminal.
The newly named roadway is vital for Umrah and Hajj pilgrims and visitors traveling between the Prophet’s Mosque and the Madinah airport, providing access to one of Islam’s holiest cities.
The governor of the Madinah region, Prince Salman bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz, emphasized the crown prince’s pivotal role in launching development initiatives and strategic projects throughout Saudi Arabia, significantly impacting various regions, including Madinah, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Road will connect to the three main highways in Madinah: King Faisal Road (1st Ring), King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Road (2nd Ring), and King Khalid Road (3rd Ring), according to SPA.
Several projects are underway along the road, including the development of vehicle and pedestrian tracks and a rehabilitation project for Wadi Qanat, an essential valley in Madinah.
