Work begins on Riyadh Metro Expo station
The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) began construction of the Expo Station on the Riyadh Metro network, unveiling its architectural design as part of transport and infrastructure projects supporting the Kingdom’s hosting of Expo 2030 Riyadh. 
In a statement, the commission said the station will facilitate visitors’ access to the exhibition site through the public transport network and serve as a permanent addition to the Riyadh Metro, enhancing transport integration while meeting the needs of the capital’s urban expansion and future growth.
The station will be located on the network’s Yellow Line, which connects to King Khalid International Airport (KKIA), and will extend over King Salman Road within a green corridor linking the Expo 2030 Riyadh site in the east with future urban development areas in the west.
Covering a total area of about 70,000 square meters, the station will have the capacity to accommodate up to 19,000 passengers per hour.
Its architectural design features a 134-meter-diameter steel dome supported by eight branching columns inspired by Talh trees, drawing on Riyadh’s local natural landscape and valleys.
The station will also include about 44,000 square meters of green spaces, while solar energy systems are expected to meet about 25% of its power consumption.
The commission said construction is progressing in line with an integrated schedule coordinated with development works at the exhibition site, with the station expected to be completed alongside the site’s readiness and ahead of the opening of Expo 2030 Riyadh.
It added that construction is being carried out under a traffic management plan coordinated with relevant authorities, including alternative routes to minimize disruption to traffic and surrounding residential neighborhoods.
