Amman: Interior Minister Mazen Farraya recently visited the King Hussein Bridge crossing, the sole gateway for Palestinians in the West Bank to access Jordan and subsequently travel to other destinations globally. This crossing facilitates a significant amount of two-way traffic, managing nearly two million passengers each year. Security and customs authorities are making exceptional efforts to facilitate passenger movement and ensure the smooth flow of goods.
According to Jordan News Agency, Farraya announced that the government is implementing a comprehensive plan to upgrade the crossing’s infrastructure. The plan includes improvements to the road network, expansion of cargo areas, construction of designated public transport parking, and relocation of the duty-free market to a more suitable location. He noted that arrival and departure lounges have already seen improvements, and new measures aimed at enhancing the work environment and improving baggage handling operations within the terminal will be introduced in the coming weeks.
