They work on the bridge between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and do not catch up with the Friday prayer due to the congestion, so what is the ruling?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Those who work on the bridge between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia may sometimes encounter congestion at such times. They may go to pray, but then congestion occurs for the travelers.

Answer : If his work is like this every week, he is excused for missing the Friday prayer. As for the one who intends to work specifically on Friday, knowing that he will not pray, that is not permissible. May Allah reward you.
