The government has issued a tender for a new public transport station at the King Hussein Bridge crossing, at a cost of 2.6 million JD, aimed at easing traffic congestion at the bridge’s gate, according to Abla Wishah, spokesperson for the Land Transport Regulatory Commission (LTRC).

Speaking to Al-Mamlaka, Wishah said the project is going to be built on a 17.5 dunum plot adjacent to the existing border terminal, with completion expected by mid-next year.

She noted that the station will improve services for arriving and departing traveler, comprising courtyards, perimeter walls, platforms, lanes, and parking bays for the public 'service' vehicles operating to and from the bridge.

The facility will include 138 bays for medium and small busses, two loading bays for tourist rental cars, four electric vehicle charging bays (two for public transport vehicle and two for private cars), and 87 parking spaces for vehicles, including two reserved for people with disabilities.

The project also comprises several buildings: a two-story, 1,300-square-meter administrative and commercial services building with a waiting hall for arriving passengers, passenger amenities, a prayer room, shops, and administrative offices for the LTRC and the future station management company; a drivers' rest building; a traffic control building; a tire repair station; and a control room for the rental parking area.

According to Wishah, the buildings and lanes will feature a mix of aluminum and wood canopies, with shading structures installed over most of the parking bays. All buildings will be air-conditioned, and the station will run on solar power.

Separately, the Government Tenders Directorate has issued a tender for supervision of the construction works, covering the services building, the control building, and external works.

The directorate has invited Jordanian engineering offices and consultancy firms holding a valid first-class classification certificate in the buildings sector to take part.
Interested bidders can obtain tender documents through the Government Tenders Directorate's website or the Jordan Online Procurement System (JONEPS).

The directorate stressed that bids will be rejected if a bidder's classification certificate has expired by the submission deadline, even in the event the deadline is extended. The beneficiary agency for the project is the Land Transport Regulatory Commission.
