Later, Highway 65 became included in the Jordanian 25-year plan to build an extensive road network that travels around the country.

It involves building beltways around major cities such as Irbid, Salt or its capital, Amman.

This project's road-improvement investigation is expected to reach US$1.8 billion when complete.

This highway runs north-south from Irbid Governorate along the Dead Sea.

North from the Dead Sea is a place called Potash City, down to Aqaba.
