The area of Al-Jamarat has caught the attention of Islamic rulers throughout the ages in order to facilitate the stoning ritual for pilgrims. It is said that during the Abbasid era, in the year 240 AH, the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mutawakkil ala Allah ordered to specify the location of Jamrat Al-Aqaba after its location had vanished. He constructed a wall behind it with gypsum and stone flags and repaired the road that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) took from Mina to the Ansar Valley.

During the Saudi State era, the Al-Jamarat area underwent several stages of development. The surrounding spaces were expanded, and a bridge was built over the three pillars in 1395 AH to provide a second level for the stoning area. Over the following years, this bridge underwent a number of improvements and expansions until the modern bridge was built, which was inaugurated in its first phase in 1427 AH and completed in 1431 AH. The bridge has five-floor levels, each of which is 12 meters high. The bridge is 950 meters long and 80 meters wide. It can accommodate 300,000 pilgrims per hour and has 11 entrances and 12 exits. The bridge also has service facilities such as an emergency helicopter landing pad, 328 escalators, surveillance systems, and four tunnels for cars and buses.
