Many travelers voiced their displeasure with the chokepoint traffic that bridge users must suffer. The second semester vacation, which is a time of heavy transit to and from Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, is when the congestion occurred.
- The "King Fahd Causeway" hashtag was created by Twitter users to draw attention to the bridge's traffic problems. One of the citizens who participated in the hashtag offered the following suggestion: "I suggest making an application for the bridge in order to enter the dates by offering a tender to companies and a small increase in transit fees, the project is a success and too much for everyone".

- While, one of the user further stated, "Is it logical for us to consider travelling from Bahrain to Saudi Arabia? Is it appropriate to perform King Fahd Causeway maintenance during the busiest travel period and during the school holidays?"
- Another person said, "It's been two days and the Saudi Arabia to Bahrain bridge situation is very congested at all times. From what I can tell, the first customs gates and paths are mostly closed, so there are only five or four gates, and this is the reason for the accumulation of cars from the beginning of the bridge."
- A number of King Fahd Causeway users have shared images and videos of the bridge's recent traffic jams, highlighting the urgent need for an immediate solution to the bridge's traffic issues.

- The King Fahd Causeway Foundation stated that the expansion and maintenance work would be done in stages, with the first stage being finished in three months. See Also : King Fahd Causeway records the most travelers passed through since its open
