Ammon News - Interior Minister Mazen Faraya is currently conducting a surprise inspection visit to the King Hussein Bridge, his second visit within a week, to review workflow, assess the level of services provided to travelers, and monitor procedures at the crossing.

The visit comes as part of ongoing efforts to evaluate conditions at the bridge, review services offered to passengers, and assess measures aimed at managing travel movement and reducing congestion.

Last Sunday, Faraya carried out a field visit to the bridge, stressing that it is a humanitarian crossing with a unique status, as it links Jordan with the Palestinian territories and is directly affected by Israeli-side procedures, operating hours, and occasional sudden closures.

He emphasized the importance of the electronic booking platform in organizing travel movement and advance reservations according to available capacity, noting that compliance with pre-booking requirements helps reduce overcrowding and speed up procedures.

Faraya also highlighted ongoing Ministry of Interior projects to upgrade the bridge's infrastructure, including the construction of waiting halls and shaded areas for travelers, new freight and public transport facilities, as well as the rehabilitation of passport halls and improvements to passenger services.

He previously affirmed that Jordan receives all arrivals through the King Hussein Bridge without restrictions on numbers or timing, while noting that some delays and congestion are linked to procedures and limitations imposed on the other side.
