Amman, August 10 (Petra) – A progress report on the Economic
Modernization Vision’s 2026–2029 executive program showcased advances
in Jordan’s transport and logistics sectors during the first half of
the year.

Designs were finalized for the third phase of the Potash Railway line
connecting mining areas to Aqaba’s port. Simultaneously, airport
infrastructure advanced with runway weather system upgrades in Amman
Civil Airport and King Hussein International Airport, alongside new
development studies for King Hussein International Airport.

Design work concluded for the King Hussein Bridge terminal, and new
operations launched to enhance public bus routes connecting Amman
with governorates and districts. Meanwhile, two new ride-hailing
services received operating licenses.

Crews completed site evaluations for updates to the Irbid and Salt
ring roads, broke ground on a bridge along the Irbid Ring Road, and
launched highway maintenance nationwide. Meanwhile, utility
finishings wrapped up at the Durra Border Crossing ahead of upcoming
construction tenders.

Customs modernized its operations by building new anti-smuggling
centers in Karameh and Azraq, reviewing procedures across 16 units,
and streamlining trade protocols for 26 key commodities on the Jordan
Trade Portal.

A new port management and truck control system went live in Aqaba to
streamline supply chains. Economic data showed the transport and
storage sector generated JD522 million in gross domestic product
during the first quarter, while customs facilities processed 1.46
million e-commerce bills and 16,366 declarations.
