The ministry explained on Saturday that work will first begin on the Umm Al-Basateen–Naour road, followed by the Amman–Salt–Al-Saru road, the first phase of the Salt Ring Road, the Royal Dhiban Road, the Wadi Shuaib–King Hussein Bridge road, and finally the Mahis–Badr Roundabout road.
The works include removing damaged asphalt layers and replacing them with new ones in line with international standards, addressing hazardous subsidence areas, renewing road markings and safety signs, and carrying out supporting works to ensure pavement durability.
These projects, the ministry said, are part of its ongoing strategy to preserve road infrastructure, which serves as a vital artery for economic and social development. Well-maintained roads help facilitate trade, ensure safe mobility, and support productive sectors such as agriculture and tourism in Naour, Salt, and Dhiban. They also reduce future maintenance costs and minimize traffic accidents.
To maintain smooth traffic flow, the ministry will implement partial diversions by closing one lane on each road using plastic barriers, while keeping the other lane open. Work will then shift to the second lane once maintenance on the first is completed.
The ministry is equipping all work sites with necessary traffic safety measures, including temporary detours, warning signs, and guidance from project teams and Public Security personnel.
It also urged road users to exercise caution and comply with safety instructions issued by the ministry and its partners at the Public Security Directorate, noting that project progress updates will be shared through the ministry’s official website and social media platforms.
