Maintenance Work Begins on Damascus-Naseeb International Highway

Syrian authorities have initiated practical measures to rehabilitate the international highway connecting the capital, Damascus, with the Naseeb border crossing. The first shipment of machinery and equipment required for maintenance and restoration work has arrived at the site.

This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to improve critical road infrastructure across the country, aiming to ensure the smooth flow of traffic and transport between Damascus and the southern regions, extending to the Syrian-Jordanian border. The Damascus-Naseeb international highway serves as a vital economic and commercial artery, linking the Syrian capital to the border crossing, which acts as a primary gateway for trade, cargo, and passenger movement between Syria and neighboring countries.

The maintenance operations are expected to enhance the efficiency of the road and ensure traffic safety for all users of this vital route. The deployment of this machinery is part of a broader plan to restore sections of the highway that have suffered damage, thereby strengthening land transport and its associated logistics services.

These efforts underscore the importance of maintaining Syria’s strategic road network to support internal and external trade and to facilitate travel between governorates and border areas. Technical teams are currently preparing for the subsequent stages of the project. Actual maintenance operations are scheduled to commence once the machinery is positioned at the designated locations. This work falls within the general policy to restore the country’s transport and communications infrastructure, which has been impacted in recent years.
