Engineer Jamal Abu Obaid explained that this project receives great attention due to its vital role in organizing transport movement within the city, noting that the main objectives of the rehabilitation are to develop the spaces and service facilities within the complex, rehabilitate entrances and exits to ensure traffic flow, as well as paving streets with asphalt mix and installing curbs. Abu Obaid added that the works will also include preparing designated parking spaces for buses and transport vehicles, which will contribute to facilitating the movement of citizens and university students and reducing traffic congestion, confirming that all the municipality's capabilities and logistical support will be harnessed to complete the project according to the highest approved technical specifications and on schedule.
For his part, the Director of the Land Transport Regulatory Commission in Irbid, Mohammad Al-Alawneh, confirmed that the commission always seeks to develop the level of services provided to citizens and upgrade their infrastructure in various regions. Al-Alawneh pointed out that launching the tender for the rehabilitation and development of the complex embodies this continuous keenness to improve the public transport system and enhance traffic safety elements, stressing the continuation of coordination with the municipality and relevant authorities throughout the implementation period to ensure the work proceeds with high efficiency, while calling on everyone to adhere to the temporary traffic instructions and arrangements to make the project a success.
Regarding the organization of traffic movement during the work period, it was decided to continue providing transport services to passengers and university students without interruption, while allowing transport vehicles to stop for loading and unloading only and prohibiting long-term parking in the designated locations. The traffic plan also includes closing the Al-Bahhara Market street according to the approved arrangements, to ensure the safety of citizens and facilitate the completion of the work on time.
