AMMAN — Amman Mayor Yousef Shawarbeh on Wednesday said that the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) is scheduled to start construction works at the Sports City Intersection project, part of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, within one month.

In a meeting with stakeholders from the Amman Traffic Department, Shawarbeh highlighted the importance of using the best detours that guarantee smooth traffic movement, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Amman Traffic director Col. Bassem Kharabsheh expressed the department's keenness to find effective detours at the site, which usually witnesses heavy traffic flows. Construction at the intersection include building two 500-metre-long bridges over the roundabout for the BRT and establishing a tunnel and a station for busses and passengers, Petra added.
