Public Works Ministry Begins Implementation of 3 Vital Road Maintenance Projects in Zarqa The Ministry of Public Works and Housing, through the Zarqa Directorate of Public Works, has begun work on three new road projects in the governorate. These initiatives are part of the ministry's ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure and enhance traffic safety, responding to public demands. اضافة اعلان Zarqa-Mafraq Highway Project (6 km) The ministry has started maintenance work on a section of the main road linking Zarqa and Mafraq, beginning from the Military College Bridge and Zarqa University, covering a distance of 6 kilometers. The work includes removing the old asphalt layer, conducting patch repairs, and repaving the road with a 5 cm thick asphalt mix. Additionally, reflectors and hot thermoplastic road markings will be installed to enhance traffic safety.

Maintenance of Hashimiyah-Khaw Road (1.3 km) The ministry has also started work on the Hashimiyah-Khaw Road, stretching 1.3 kilometers near Prince Mohammad City for Youth, toward the Vocational Training traffic signal. The project involves milling the old asphalt and repaving it with a 5 cm layer, along with installing traffic signs and hot road markings. The project cost is estimated at 100,000 dinars and is expected to be completed in the coming days. Renovation of Bireen–Al-Alouk Road (3.5 km) Three days ago, the ministry began maintenance of the secondary Bireen–Al-Alouk Road at a cost of 200,000 dinars. The project includes repaving the 3.5-kilometer road and installing traffic safety elements. Completion is expected by the end of next week. These projects aim to improve road quality and facilitate smoother traffic flow, with a particular focus on safety enhancements to reduce accidents.
