Saudi Fund for Development Inaugurates Major Infrastructure Project in Jordan

The Saudi Fund for Development (SFD) has inaugurated a major three-level highway intersection on the main Amman-Dead Sea Road in Jordan. The project in the Marj Al-Hammam region was funded with a US$ 19 million grant provided by Saudi Arabia through the SFD to develop the road infrastructure in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

The project was inaugurated under the patronage of the Jordanian Prime Minister Dr. Bishr Al-Khasawneh and in the presence of Jordan’s Minister of the Public Works and Housing Eng. Yahya Al-Kasbi, Jordan’s Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Nasser Shraideh, Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Jordan Nayef bin Bandar Al-Sudairy, and the SFD’s Operations Director in the Middle East and North Africa Eng. Bandar bin Abdullah Al-Obaid.

The new intersection has been built on three levels, including a 240-meter two-lane concrete bridge connecting Marj Al-Hammam and Prince Hussein Road, and a 110-meter tunnel with four separate traffic lanes linking Amman-Na’ur to the Dead Sea Road.
