Amman, April 7 (Petra) -- An international briefing session on the Amman Toll Bridge (ATB) project attracted strong interest from global investors, as Jordan’s Ministry of Investment announced the launch of the project’s pre-qualification phase as part of efforts to develop strategic infrastructure projects in partnership with the private sector.
The session, held on Monday, served as a platform to present the project to a broad base of international investors, developers and engineering and construction firms, alongside commercial banks, development finance institutions and global advisory firms. Around 110 participants from various international investment and financing entities attended, reflecting growing interest in the project.
The project is being offered under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, in line with the government’s strategy to enhance private sector participation in delivering vital infrastructure and to develop bankable projects capable of attracting global investment. Several interested parties have already purchased pre-qualification documents.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Investment on Tuesday, the session outlined the project’s strategic vision and its role in improving the efficiency of Amman’s transport network. It also presented the technical concept and preliminary design, with emphasis on maintaining the capacity of the existing roadway while improving traffic flow.
The investment structure, revenue model, legal and regulatory framework, and the competitive tendering process were also presented, along with the next steps in the pre-qualification and procurement stages.
The ministry said the pre-qualification period will remain open until May 12, 2026, inviting qualified investors, developers, and engineering firms to purchase the relevant documents and participate in what it described as a promising investment opportunity.
The project has been developed by the Ministry of Investment based on specialized international studies conducted by experienced organizations through a comprehensive advisory consortium, ensuring its readiness for investment and financing while boosting investor confidence in its feasibility and sustainability.
The offering comes amid growth in Jordan’s investment sector, driven by improved economic performance indicators and rising investor confidence. The government continues to introduce high-quality, bankable projects, reinforcing the country’s position as a stable investment destination capable of attracting regional and international capital.
The strong international turnout at the session underscores increasing confidence in Jordan’s public-private partnership market and highlights the Amman Bridge project as a leading initiative in the region in terms of readiness, contractual clarity, and bankability, further enhancing the kingdom’s appeal for infrastructure investment.
