Wadi Hanifa
Supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals
Project context
The new Wadi Hanifa Sports Boulevard is a landmark 135km scheme featuring high-quality, attractive and fully-segregated routes for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians, connecting Wadi Hanifah in the west to Wadi Al Sulay in the East. It’s seen as an important contributor to the Saudi Vision 2030 – to make Riyadh one of the most liveable cities in the world.
Our work
Momentum led on highways detailed design and as-built proposals on the Sports Boulevard, with aspects including surfacing, footways, signage and markings. We adhered to Saudi and Diriyah-specific design standards, and worked efficiently and responsively to demanding circumstances with the contractor already on site constructing sections of the scheme.
Client outcomes
Through precise design development and as-built validation, we achieved the project aims in providing end-to-end mobility and high-quality outputs on this innovative project. We helped to demonstrate how movement-led public realm can both connect different places and also become a destination in its own right in providing spaces where people will gather – to picnic, play and reconnect with nature and each other.
