Madinah: Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has directed that the main airport route in Madinah be named Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Road, honouring the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
In a post on X, Madinah Mayor Fahad Albulihshi shared a video unveiling the new road sign, emphasising the strategic connection between the Prophet’s Mosque and Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport.
The 13-kilometre stretch connects the city centre to King Salman Road and the Royal Terminal, intersecting major arteries such as King Khalid Road, King Salman Road and Prince Naif Road. It also passes the Haramain High-Speed Railway Station and the Rua Al Madinah hospitality project, the largest of its kind in the world, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
Madinah Governor Prince Salman bin Sultan praised the decision, highlighting the Crown Prince’s role in driving national development and major infrastructure projects across Saudi Arabia.
Projects along the corridor include the Madinah Humanisation Programme, façade enhancements reflecting Saudi architectural style and environmental restoration of the historic Wadi Qanat valley, supporting Vision 2030 goals for tourism and quality of life.
