The Al-Arida border crossing between Syria and Lebanon was reopened this Tuesday morning for passenger movement, following the completion of the first phase of maintenance and rehabilitation work that the crossing underwent during the past period. This reopening comes in response to the needs of residents wishing to travel between the two countries, especially with the approaching Eid al-Adha holiday, where the crossing is expected to witness active transit movement of individuals and families.
The relevant authorities confirmed that the reopening of the crossing aims to facilitate citizens’ movement and provide safer and more comfortable conditions during transit, while continuing to implement the remaining restoration and preparation work after the end of the holiday. This step comes within the framework of ongoing government efforts to improve the infrastructure of border crossings and enhance cooperation with the Lebanese side in a manner that serves the interests of the population and facilitates economic and social activities between the two countries.
