Minister of Public Works and Housing Maher Abu El-Samen inspected on Monday the 'Forty Street' project in Ramtha District and the Jaber Border Crossing, evaluating work progress, completion rates, and field requirements. According to a ministry statement, Abu El-Samen, accompanied by the Ministry's Secretary-General for Technical Affairs Waseem Al-Adwan, reviewed maintenance and rehabilitation works on Forty Street in Ramtha District. The project comes in implementation of governmental directives issued by Prime Minister Jafar Hassan during his recent visit to Irbid Governorate and northern areas. The scope includes reconstructing and rehabilitating the section extending from the Jaber traffic light to the Bushra intersection roundabout in both directions, alongside installing traffic safety elements such as lane marking paint, pavement reflectors, and informational and warning signage. Abu El-Samen directed the intensification of work, acceleration of progress, and adherence to timeframes and technical specifications, while ensuring the operational readiness of traffic detours in coordination with the Public Security Directorate. He highlighted the project's importance in raising road efficiency, improving traffic safety, and serving transportation within the district. At the Jaber Border Crossing, Abu El-Samen inspected maintenance and rehabilitation works on sanitation units, where four units have been completed and delivered, with work ongoing on two others. The commencement of work on the sanitation unit for Civil Defense quarters remains contingent upon funding allocation from the Ministry of Interior. He also reviewed the construction of metal canopies covering a total area exceeding 3,200 square meters to serve inspection yards, the delivery and installation of 5 caravans, the removal of 70 meters of precast concrete walling, the paving of approximately 900 square meters of roads and plazas, and a weighbridge with a 120-ton capacity, in addition to sidewalks, curbs, lighting, and the relocation of existing facilities. Abu El-Samen inspected the incoming cargo waiting yard project, which has reached 100% completion at a cost of 2.66 million JOD. The project features a paved yard spanning approximately 50 dunams with a capacity to accommodate 161 trucks arriving from the Syrian border. The project scope included constructing sanitation units, a prayer hall, ablution facilities, a cafeteria, a main gatehouse and gate to regulate entry and exit, a paved plaza covering nearly 3 dunams, as well as surveillance camera systems, audio equipment, wireless internet service, pedestrian walkways, landscaping, and lighting towers. Furthermore, he reviewed ongoing works to manage stormwater drainage, which include constructing an open channel, a pumping station, and collection manholes to drain water and safeguard completed works. This is alongside adjusting truck entry and exit lanes to ensure smooth transit through secondary inspection yards and regulate traffic flow within the crossing. Abu El-Samen underscored the vital role of the Jaber Border Crossing in serving passenger, transport, and commercial cargo movements, directing continuous follow-up on field requirements, direct coordination between relevant authorities, and the prompt completion of remaining works according to the highest technical standards. He emphasized that the ministry is moving forward with its plans to develop the road network, infrastructure, and border facilities, noting that field inspection visits aim to monitor execution, resolve obstacles in real time, and ensure project delivery within stipulated deadlines and required quality.
