Khaberni - The Jerash Public Works Directorate announced on Tuesday a partial closure of the street from the Directorate of Tourism to Al-Qayrawan roundabout, from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM, to complete milling operations as part of the road rehabilitation project.
Jerash Public Works Director, Ikhlas Al-Khashman, said that the closure is part of the execution phases of the street paving tender worth 209,000 dinars, which will last for one month and cover approximately 1100 meters.
Al-Khashman added in a statement to "Al-Mamlaka" that traffic will be diverted towards the commercial center during the closure period, calling on citizens to use alternative routes to maintain public safety.
She explained that the execution of the tender came under the directives of the Minister of Public Works and Housing, Maher Abu Al-Samn, during his last visit to the province, aiming to improve the road that serves visitors to the archaeological site, villages of the province, and the commercial center.
Al-Khashman confirmed that coordination took place with all official entities within the province, including the administrative governorate, the Directorate of Public Security, and the Traffic Department, to facilitate work progress and ensure traffic fluidity.
The project includes the removal of the existing asphalt mix and repaving with a new basalt mix, as well as the creation of a central median and equipping the road with public safety elements and traffic signs.
