SBG Started the massive project of tearing down the existing Jamarat and construction of a new Jamarat Bridge on Sunday January 19, 2006.
The SR4 billion Jamrat expansion project, to be carried out in four phases, will help nearly four million pilgrims perform the ritual of stoning the devil in one day. The new Jamrat will have four floors apart from the ground floor.
"Each floor will be 85 meters wide, and 10 meters high". The project also includes three tunnels. First-aid services will be available underground & will be linked by tunnels. The Jamrat Bridge will have medical clinics and operation facilities to deal with emergency cases. It will also have an advanced air-conditioning system.
