The Public-Private Partnership Unit (PPPU) in Jordan has launched a referendum for investors’ review for the King Hussein Bridge Crossing Terminal project. The estimated investment value for the project is JOD 160 million (US$ 225.67 million). The objective of the project is to boost communication and economic coordination between Jordan and Palestine.

The project involves the construction and operation of new facilities at the King Hussein Bridge Crossing Terminal, currently the only crossing point for West Bank residents to travel abroad. The new terminal will have a state-of-the-art truck and passenger handling facilities, including modern cargo and luggage scanning, multi-traffic lane entry and exit points with electric gates and check booths, a duty-free facility, and a medical emergency center.

The concession period for the project is 25 years.
