AMMAN The lockdowns and bridge and tunnel construction works in Amman’s Marj Al Hamam neighbourhood have had their profound impact on businesses, which complained of sharp decline in revenues.
According to shop owners, the coronavirus pandemic and the accompanying curfews and lockdowns has coincided with the bridge and tunnel construction works at Marj Al Hamam intersection, causing a sharp decline in sales and leading to permanent or temporary closures of businesses there.
They also said that the COVID-19 crisis has enlarged existing challenges, voicing hope that the reopening of sectors and better infrastructure would bring more customers and stimulate their deteriorating businesses.
