According to Saudi Press Agency, the ministry has upgraded the tunnel network, covering 22,515 linear meters, along with 6,000 linear meters of service tunnels. Maintenance and preparation of 16 bridges and eight main roads have also been completed to support smooth traffic flow and ease pedestrian movement, particularly during peak hours.

The ministry detailed that the total workforce mobilized for these plans includes 13,549 workers, supported by 912 pieces of equipment and machinery. Additionally, more than 47,900 waste containers have been distributed across various locations to intensify round-the-clock public cleaning and environmental sanitation efforts.
