Completion of structural studies for toll-paid roads on "100" Street
The government stated that the structural studies for the initial phase of implementing the toll roads system on the Amman Development Corridor Road '100th Street' have been finalized and delivered.
This information was included in a report outlining the advancements made in the executive initiative of the Economic Modernization Vision for the third quarter of this year, released on Tuesday, showing that the structural analyses encompass technical, legal, and financial studies.
During the initial six months of the year, the government revealed the completion of the engineering services contract for the project consultant, and in the first half of 2023, an economic viability assessment was conducted to analyze the proposal. Furthermore, committees for steering and technical aspects were established for the toll road project, with financial support from the Ministry of Investment.
The plan 'Improving main roads by implementing toll roads to fund it' was introduced to the transportation industry as part of the economic vision's future services initiative. Its goal is to enhance transportation infrastructure, create a strategic public transportation plan for Jordan, and improve road management efficiency through technology.
In 2019, a report from the World Bank mentioned that the government is focusing on constructing 14 important roads in Jordan, including 12 expressways and two ring roads, totaling 1,379 kilometers. This represents 18% of the country's road network and is part of a plan to make them financially sustainable by charging fees to users.
The suggestion in the report is to establish a standardized toll rate for Jordanian highways, set at 0.011 Jordanian dinars/kilometer (0.015 US dollars/kilometer) for cars and 0.022 Jordanian dinars/kilometer (0.030 US dollars/kilometer) for trucks.
The national transport strategy, introduced in 2014, suggested implementing tolls on highways in Jordan, initially targeting freight traffic by 2024, to generate revenue for road upkeep and enhancements.
As part of the extended implementation phase in 2030, the strategy recommended broadening the road toll system to encompass private vehicles.
