The structure is designed to support 12 floors, with the ability to accommodate five million pilgrims in the future if needed.

The expansion project case as a drastic solution to the avoid accidents and stampedes that occurred in the past by solving the root cause.
The Jamarat Bridge is vital for streamlined crowd management. It is constructed around three vast pillars with multiple entrance and exit points at different levels.
The facility includes all the services needed to aid pilgrims, including an underground tunnel that separates vehicles from pedestrians; 11 entrances; 12 exits; a helipad for emergencies; and a sophisticated cooling system.
