  • Works will improve the bus stop complex and Friday market square

AMMAN: Muhammad Hiyari, mayor of the Greater Salt Municipality in Jordan, on Sunday announced that the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Municipal Support Program will implement a rehabilitation project in the Salt region.

The works will improve the bus stop complex and Friday market square. During a site tour, Hiyari said that the 10-dunum (one hectare) project will be completed in stages to minimize disruption to Friday market traders, Jordan News Agency reported.

The initiative includes the renovation of bus stops, upgrading infrastructure, sidewalks and sanitary facilities, as well as building aesthetic walls that reflect the region’s heritage.

Additionally, a modern hangar with contemporary designs will be built.

The project is expected to create approximately 100 job opportunities for local residents, with the municipality aiming to maximize the potential of Salt’s youth.
