The Riyadh Infrastructure Projects Centre has just announced the launch of a new automated service that informs business owners and residents of the area that construction work will be happening nearby. This is what we need to know about Riyadh road work notifications.
As work begins on nearby internal roads, the new “Work Commencement Alerts” service aims to provide timely and transparent updates on projects that may impact traffic flow or essential services such as water, electricity, and telecommunications.

The service will help you easily track traffic and route changes. According to Saudi Gazette, each message is set to include the name and location of the affected site, what kind of work is happening—such as roadworks, utility upgrades, or communications infrastructure—and the expected duration of the project.
The main aim of the Riyadh road work notifications is to provide greater transparency to residents and provide reliable, real-time information to citizens, residents, and visitors across the Riyadh Region.
The initiative is part of the centre’s broader push to leverage digital solutions to improve quality of life, enhance public satisfaction, and proactively reduce complaints and inquiries related to infrastructure projects.
