Amman, June 2 (Petra) –Ministry of Public Works and Housing is
scheduled to begin maintenance work on the damaged sections of Queen
Alia International Airport (QAIA) road extending from Madaba Bridge
to Amman’s Seventh Circle, starting Wednesday night.

According to a ministry statement Sunday, the process is part of the
central tender issued to maintain and rehabilitate main roads in the
Kingdom’s Central Region, funded by a loan from the Kuwait Fund for
Arab Economic Development, at an estimated cost of approximately
JD5.9 million.

Work on the airport road begins 2 months after the launch of this
vital project, aimed to upgrade the main route and keep pace with the
Kingdom’s rapid economic and urban growth.

The project also aims to improve road efficiency to provide the
“highest levels of safety for citizens and alleviate traffic
congestion.”

On its goals, the ministry said the effort will focus on addressing
the most-damaged sections due to high axle loads and urban
development in the surrounding areas.

Given the road’s strategic importance and the heavy traffic on this
route, the ministry will conduct maintenance work during nighttime
hours without closing the highway to traffic flow.

The ministry urged public awareness and cooperation, as essential for
the success of the renovation work, mainly compliance with safe
driving practices and instructions from field teams and partners in
the Public Security Directorate.
