Tafilah, Sept. 9 (Petra) – The Tafilah Public Works Directorate on Tuesday announced that 65 percent of the Tafilah-Karak Road rehabilitation project has been completed.

The JD1.9 million project covers 17.5 kilometers of the Royal Highway and is expected to wrap up before the end of the year, according to Directorate Director Ammar Hajjaj.

He said the project includes road rehabilitation, asphalt paving, road widening, and traffic safety measures such as signage, markings, and side guards. The road, frequently used by tourist groups, connects several southern governorates and is considered a vital tourist and transport route.
