Roads key to serving Madinah’s visitors

The field teams of Madinah Municipality are continuing their work to maintain and repair the road network in the holy city.

This week they helped to maintain 214,280 linear meters of main and internal roads, while repairing 2,366 sq. meters of potholes and depressions, in addition to removing several illegal speed bumps.

Field teams also conducted 875 tours for general cleaning, disinfecting some 7,186 locations with chemicals.

The teams also attempted to study the quality of materials while carrying out their projects. They looked at 32 samples of surfaces, including four asphalt samples, 27 concrete and one soil. In addition, they conducted 82 tests on the three surfaces.

The field and supervisory teams in the municipality are intensifying their tours due to the number of pilgrims traveling to Madinah following the Hajj season.
