These projects are part of Amman Municipality's programs aimed at maintaining the technical condition of tunnels and bridges and extending their operational life, ensuring the continued efficiency of these facilities and their service to road users.
The maintenance and rehabilitation works included treating damaged parts of the walls and ceilings of tunnels and bridges and joints, as well as removing and replacing damaged handrails and completing missing parts using materials of the approved type and specifications, preserving the safety and general appearance of the facilities.
The works also included treating and maintaining expansion joints in bridges and tunnels, supplying, installing, and replacing damaged joints in whole or in part, using rubber or iron joints according to the nature of each site and its technical requirements, in addition to treating the areas around the joints and rehabilitating them.
As part of the rehabilitation works, sandblasting and water blasting were carried out on concrete surfaces in preparation for carrying out treatment, protection, and painting works according to approved technical specifications, contributing to the protection of structural elements, improving their appearance, and extending their service life.
The projects also included specialized works for the maintenance and treatment of the walls and joints of Abdoun Tunnel and Saheeb Tunnel, including the treatment of damaged parts and the implementation of rehabilitation and painting works according to the technical condition of each site.
The maintenance and rehabilitation works were distributed across a number of main axes and vital sites in Amman, including Army Street, Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah Street, Jordan Street, Ring Road Street, Al-Quds Street, Wasfi Al-Tal Street, and King Abdullah II Street, in addition to a number of intersections and vital facilities, the most prominent of which are the intersection of Princess Sumaya Street with Airport Street (Al-Sifawi Bridge), the Fourth Circle (Lower Tunnel) intersection, and the Jbr Complex (Lower Tunnel) intersection.
Amman Greater Municipality, through the implementation of these works, is keen to follow periodic programs for the maintenance and rehabilitation of road facilities, which limits the exacerbation of damage, improves the efficiency of existing assets, contributes to enhancing traffic safety, improving the level of service, extending the operational life of tunnels and bridges, and preserving the urban appearance of Amman city.
These works fall within Amman Municipality's approach to enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of the road network and related facilities, and continuing to carry out preventive and remedial maintenance works according to technical priorities and the condition of each site, providing a more ready and efficient infrastructure to serve citizens and road users.
