Jordan’s Jaber border crossing announced an expansion of its freight facilities with a new yard designed to accommodate about 200 loaded trucks. Petra reported the project on September 15 as part of efforts to improve cargo handling at the crossing with Syria.

The facility is intended to provide additional space for trucks while customs and logistics procedures are completed. The report did not publish a project cost, daily throughput figure or measured reduction in waiting times, so it establishes added designed capacity rather than proven operating gains.
