General Security and Customs at Aboudiyeh Border Crossing Moved
At ten in the morning on Wednesday the al-Aboudiyeh border crossing between Lebanon and Syria is scheduled to witness moving of the Lebanese General Security and Customs check points closer to a new location point.
The move is part of a new plan for better controlling the Lebanese-Syrian border and developing the infra-structure of official land border cross points qualifying them up to international standards.
This will include moving all military sectors to the Qammar Bridge passage at the Wadi-Khaled area prior to launching a vehicle crossing on July 1.
The first phase for controlling the eastern borders includes a 70 Km stretch from Wadi Fisan [west of the Hirmil] to southern Ersal.
This phase is scheduled to end in mid 2010 correspond with rehabilitation of the Arida border crossing. The entire project is expected to fully complete in mid 2012.
