Amman: The Ministry of Public Works and Housing has announced the commencement of construction on the Al-Sammar culvert along the Ghor Road in the Ghor Fayfa area, located in the Southern Jordan Valley district of the Karak governorate.

It has urged drivers to comply with warning signs, follow instructions from ministry personnel and traffic police, and practice safe driving habits to ensure public safety and the timely completion of the project.
