This means that a 16.5 km travel distance is now reduced to 6.5 km, allowing for quicker travel for visitors, pilgrims, and residents. This will also allow for safer and smoother travel and traffic during peak hours, especially during the Hajj and Umrah seasons.

Up to 170,000 vehicles can be carried in a day in both directions by the new road, granting easier access to Makkah and the Grand Mosque.
