 Work Description
Project Name: At Taybeh-Jericho Road Project

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

The road is a narrow rural collector mountainous road which links Ramllah District with with
Jericho District. It has a total length of 20.0 kilometers and a width of about 6 meters. The road
serves the passenger and freight traffic between the central part of the West Bank and the Jordan
Valley as well as Jordan.

The road is considered to be one of the most dangerous roads in the West Bank with a high number
of car accidents. Therefore, people’s safety is another important concern which will be addressed
through this project. This is because the project will not only focus on infrastructural work, but
also on the provision of road safety measures.

The road is designed to have 7.2m asphalted concrete layer for the traffic lanes with two paved
shoulders; the one on the valley side of 2.4m width, and the other on the hill side of 1.5m width. In
addition, side ditches and culverts are provided where needed. Moreover, the design includes
furnishing the required signing, marking and guard rails, which come under another package.

The current project covers the section from station 0+270-2+400
