4th May - UNJLC joint road assessment.
In Iraq, highway #10 which originates in Jordan, has been deemed “permissive” by coalition forces despite high risks of looting and banditry. Only daylight travel is advised. Two seriously damaged areas on the highway have been reported as follows.
Bridge blown 160km from Jordan/Iraq border, east of Ar-Rutbah; only 1 of the 6 lanes is open with the safe lane on left side when traveling east.

Bridge blown passing over highway #10, 330km from Jordan/Iraq border, 3.5 hours from Karamah. All eastbound lanes blocked. Traffic both ways is sharing 3 westbound lanes for 5km.
UNJLC is in the process of organising a technical road and bridge assessment mission from Jordan with civil engineers and de-miners. More details available from UNJLC website at
