Amman, June 3 (Petra) – The Ministry of Public Works and Housing
announced the launch of a JD2 million road rehabilitation and traffic
safety project covering several major roads in the central region,
with implementation scheduled over 180 days and field work set to
begin Thursday.

According to a ministry statement, the project includes asphalt
resurfacing, traffic safety upgrades, and maintenance of water
infrastructure and stormwater drainage systems along several key road
corridors.

The first phase will target Muwaqqar Road, specifically the stretch
extending from the Training City area to the Faisaliyah intersection.
Subsequent phases will cover Airport Road, particularly the section
from al-Zaytoonah University toward Queen Alia International Airport,
in addition to the Salt Ring Road (60th Street) and the Peace Road
leading to the Dead Sea.

The ministry said the project encompasses a broad range of
engineering works, including rehabilitation of deteriorated pavement,
treatment of road subsidence, asphalt resurfacing, excavation and
backfilling in designated locations, and the renewal of road markings
and traffic safety features in accordance with international
engineering standards.

To maintain traffic flow and reduce congestion during implementation,
the ministry, in coordination with the Central Traffic Department and
the Highway Patrol, has adopted a phased work plan based on
segmenting construction zones. Work areas will be separated by
temporary barriers, allowing maintenance activities to proceed on one
lane while the adjacent lane remains open to traffic.

Upon completion of works on the first lane, traffic will be diverted
to the rehabilitated section while work continues on the opposite
lane.

The ministry added that all project sites have been equipped with the
necessary temporary traffic diversions, warning signs, directional
signage, and public safety measures to ensure the safety of motorists
and workers.

It urged road users to exercise caution, adhere to traffic
regulations, and follow the instructions of field personnel, Public
Security Directorate officers, and engineering teams supervising and
implementing the project.
