King Abdullah II Toll Road Project

Project Overview

The King Abdullah II Street Flyover Bridge - Toll Road Project is a strategic transportation infrastructure initiative aimed at improving traffic flow and connectivity along one of Amman's key transportation corridors. The proposed flyover is intended to facilitate movement between the southern and northern areas of Amman and toward Balqa Governorate, while integrating with the city's developing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network and future BRT Phase 2. The project aims to assess existing traffic conditions and future transportation demand to support the planning and design of an effective flyover solution. A key objective was to understand road users' willingness to pay for faster travel through a potential toll facility, as well as public transport users' interest in a proposed express BRT service, supporting informed decisions on future mobility and infrastructure investments. Our company undertook comprehensive traffic data collection and transportation analysis, including Automatic Traffic Counts (ATC) at five locations and Manual Traffic Counts (MTC) at nine major intersections to assess traffic volumes, peak periods, turning movements, and intersection performance. The study also included questionnaire surveys with 5,000 respondents, comprising road users and public transport passengers, to evaluate travel behavior, commuter preferences, willingness to pay, and interest in enhanced public transport services. The study provided a comprehensive understanding of existing traffic patterns, intersection operations, travel behavior, and future demand along the corridor. The findings supported the assessment and planning of the proposed flyover and its integration with the broader transportation network, including BRT Phase 2, while providing valuable insights into potential toll-road demand and public acceptance of improved express bus services.
