The project starts from the Dead Sea Highway [Route 65], 7km to the south of the Hotels development area at the Dead Sea and ends at Ma’in road which connect Madaba and Ma’in Hot Spa.
The project also includes two at-grade intersections in addition to two bridges, namely [Wadi Abu El-Asal 90m long and Wadi Al Wadi-120m long]
It runs east [then diverts to the south east direction], climbing the mountainous difficult part of the corridor [5.5km length with difference in elevation of more than 500m], crossing some major and minor Wadis.
Project Description
This vital link between the Dead Sea and Ma'in Springs is also the lowest road in the world, and its design accounts for conservation of its surrounding environment.
The 11.6km road heads east then diverts to the south east before climbing a difficult 5.5km mountainous stretch, with a difference in elevation of over 500m. It crosses Wadis, passes through rolling terrain, and includes 2 bridges and intersections.
Considered one of the best for panoramic views, the route is recommended by the Lonely Planet and features as the setting for Red Bull's wingsuit flying jump video 'Operation Dead Sea.'
As a result of this project, CCG was awarded 'Best Consultant of the Year 2003'.
