Amman, July 22 (Petr) -- The Ministry of Public Works and Housing has announced that construction will begin on Thursday to construct the Al-Sammar culvert on the Ghor Road in the Ghor Fayfa area, in the Karak governorate's Southern Jordan Valley district, to divert rainwater into the mapped valley course, replacing older drainage structures.

The ministry stated that the project forms part of its broader plan to improve road network efficiency, maintain infrastructure, and enhance traffic safety to ensure secure and sustainable routes for motorists.

The works will be carried out in coordination with the Public Security Directorate under a temporary traffic plan designed to maintain smooth traffic flow and safeguard both road users and construction crews, the ministry added.

According to the ministry, main traffic will be diverted onto a temporary bypass that has been equipped with necessary traffic safety features and signage.

The ministry urged all drivers using the route to adhere to warning signs at the site, follow instructions from ministry personnel and traffic police, and practice safe driving to ensure public safety and the timely completion of the project.
