AMMAN — The Jordanian road network requires improvement and maintenance, given its role in facilitating public transportation, tourism and citizens’ movement, officials told the Jordanian News Agency, Petra.

Minister of Public Works and Housing Falah Omoush told Petra on Thursday that that the ministry is working to maintain the integrated road network connecting Jordan to neighbouring countries.

The ministry has finished over 65 per cent of the work assigned on the Desert Highway, the minister added. Omoush noted that the ministry’s plan for 2020 focuses on road network maintenance, adding that the external road network spans more than 5000 kilometres and requires maintenance to preserve its durability.
