The Al-Uruba tunnel lies in the north of the park and crosses Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Road. It is 2,150 m long with three lanes and an emergency lane each way and five emergency exits. The Foundation announced completion on 25 July 2024. Its stated peak capacity of 140,000 vehicles per hour looks implausible and is flagged, not corrected.
