When it is completed, the newly built viaduct system, along with the road below, will help facilitate the traffic from the West to the South and East of the city, contributing to completing the traffic network of Ring Road 2, as well as promoting economic development in the region and addressing traffic jams that have been seen increasing rapidly in the current years.
