Wadi Araba road closed in both directions due to low-visibility – says Public Works Ministry

The Ministry of Public Works and Housing, on Tuesday, announced the closure of Wadi Araba road in both directions, in coordination with the Public Security Department (PSD) due to low-visibility stemmed from the khamasini dusty depression currently affecting the Kingdom.

In a statement, the ministry said that other roads, within its jurisdiction, in the southern part of the Kingdom are open with extreme caution.

The ministry has deployed more vehicles in most exposed areas to the current weather conditions, the statement said, adding that the ministry has dealt with a quicksand in Wadi Araba and other southern areas.

The ministry urged motorists using highways, namely the Desert Highway, to exercise caution while driving due to low visibility.
