Ammon News - The Ministry of Public Works and Housing said Wednesday that work is underway to open roads that were closed as a precaution due to the heavy snowfall, stressing that all roads leading to hospitals are passable.

The ministry added that its machinery immediately began work to remove the snow and reopen closed roads, according to a press realse.

The ministry noted that some roads were closed as a precaution, in coordination with relevant authorities, in order to prevent vehicles form obstructing machinery operating in the field.

The ministry stressed that its cadres will continue to work in the field to open closed roads and maintain traffic.

It pointed out that salt will be sprinkled on roads within all its jurisdiction if necessary and based on the information received from the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD), to ensure that no sliding occur on the roads.

The ministry urged citizens not to use vehicles and park them on roadsides during expected weather conditions, especially in areas expected to witness snowfall, except for the utmost necessity, in order to avoid impeding the work of the machinery and cadres working in the field to open roads and remove snow expected to fall on the roads.
