AMMAN —Residents of Nayfeh neighbourhood, in Amman’s Hashemi Shamali District, complained on Tuesday that the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) is taking a long time to complete the construction of a pedestrian overpass.

The municipality had said it will be ready by October 9.

Amjad Attar, director of GAM’s construction department, told The Jordan Times that weather conditions prevented municipality workers from finishing work on the bridge, promising that it will be ready this Friday.

Nayfeh residents say the overpass is necessary to ensure the safety of students going to the neighbourhood's school.

In previous remarks to The Jordan Times, Attar said the bridge will not be covered, but it will have a 1.8-metre-high railing so that the privacy of the houses below will be maintained.

He added that this pedestrian bridge will be the last one constructed this year.

“We have built seven bridges that have cost JD300,000 in total and rehabilitated five bridges at a cost of JD150,000,” Attar added.
