A brief overview of the work
Located on (Al-Ahsa - Dammam) highway in Abqaiq province to connect the plan (16/12) through two streets of (40 m) width located within the plan, east and west of (Al-Ahsa - Dammam) highway. The bridge passes over (Al-Ahsa-Dammam) highway with a width of (84 m), a desalination pipeline and a high-pressure electricity line with a width of (100 m), which is located west of the highway. It also passes over a 40m wide street parallel to and adjacent to the water and electricity line.
Project Description:
- (1) The bridge consists of a concrete barrier (70 cm) wide and a two-lane path in each direction of (3.6 m) wide with an emergency lane in each direction (2.5 m) wide.
- (2) West Street (width "40 m") remains on its levels under which it is being implemented.
- (3) A service road on the eastern side consisting of two lanes one direction (3.3 m) wide for each lane.
- (4) The proposed bridge extends above the service road, whose levels will be close to the current levels of the road (Al-Ahsa – Dammam road).
- (5) Traffic under the bridge will be controlled at the triple intersection to the west by (Stop) signs, and may need to use a traffic light in the future when traffic density increase.
