The Ministry of Public Works and Housing will start on Sunday the implementation of the maintenance and rehabilitation project of a section of the Desert Highway in the area extending from Al-Quweira towards Aqaba, passing through Al-Rashidi area, reaching Al-Khalidi area, with a length of 20 km.
According to the ministry’s statement on Saturday, the project works include scraping the damaged areas on the road surface and implementing layers of new asphalt mixture, in addition to traffic safety works such as ground painting, planning, ground reflectors, and many other necessary works according to the highest international standards.
The work on this part of the Desert Highway is a continuation of the projects implemented by the ministry on this road in previous years due to the great importance of this road that connects Aqaba governorate and its port with the capital Amman and various governorates of the kingdom.
The work on the road leading from Al-Quweira towards Aqaba, reaching Al-Khalidi area, will be carried out in several stages through mobile diversions on the same road path, keeping the traffic movement partially open during the work period.
The ministry calls on the users and commuters of the road to adhere to the traffic and warning signs, the announced speed, and the instructions of the working staff in the field and the instructions of the partners in the Public Security Directorate and the executing and supervising cadre, as the work area is equipped with all traffic safety elements and necessary warning signals.
