The government has estimated the total cost of a number of transport and logistics sector projects at approximately JOD 3.47 billion, distributed across a package of strategic projects aimed at developing the public transport system, enhancing regional and international connectivity, and stimulating investment through partnerships with the private sector.
According to details monitored by Al-Mamlaka, the projects include a railway project linking the industrial port in Aqaba with mining areas at an estimated cost of JOD 1.77 billion, as well as a project to construct and operate a light rail line between the cities of Amman and Zarqa at an estimated cost of JOD 1 billion, within the framework of an initiative to encourage investment and establish public-private partnerships.
As part of efforts to improve public transport systems and enhance service efficiency, the sector also includes the project to construct and operate the Amman Bridge and alternative roads (Sweileh–Naour) at an estimated cost of JOD 462 million.
The Ministry of Investment indicated that the development of the Medical City Bridge (Amman Bridge) is one of the most important modern infrastructure projects in the transport sector, aimed at improving public and private transport movement and enhancing connectivity between regions of the Kingdom through a modern and safe urban corridor.
The project extends over a length of 15.8 kilometers as an elevated roadway (bridge), starting from the Safout intersection in the north to the Naour intersection in the south, based on an integrated engineering design that combines private vehicle traffic and public transport (BRT) within non-segregated corridors, according to data monitored by Al-Mamlaka.
The projects also include, under the initiative to enhance regional and international connectivity and improve infrastructure, the development and expansion of the Aqaba Container Port at an estimated cost of JOD 171 million.
In the context of strengthening environmental policies and regulations and transitioning toward the use of clean energy sources, the sector includes the implementation of the Amman–Zarqa BRT project—operation of the first phase at a cost of JOD 58 million—along with the Amman–Zarqa BRT project for operating the fare collection system at a cost of JOD 9.1 million.
The second phase of the BRT project in the capital, Amman, includes the development of 41 kilometers of dedicated BRT infrastructure across three main corridors in different areas of the city.
The first corridor runs from Sweileh Circle to Naour Bridge, covering 15.5 kilometers via King Abdullah II Street and the Eighth Circle, and includes a proposed elevated bridge between Sweileh and Naour. The second corridor extends from Naour Bridge to the Al-Mahatta Complex, also spanning 15.5 kilometers, passing through Jerusalem Street, Al-Hurriya Street, Prince Hassan Street, and Yarmouk Street. The third corridor includes a route from the Customs Circle to the Madaba intersection, covering 10 kilometers through the Kherbet Al-Souq area, featuring a modern design that enhances connectivity between western, central, and southern Amman.
These projects fall within a broader package of investment opportunities and major projects aimed at developing transport and logistics infrastructure, improving the efficiency of public transport services, and strengthening partnerships between the public and private sectors.
