Eastern Ringway
Shortly after the completion of the new station and rail bypass the southern area of Jordan started to see some heavy development. There were so many people moving to Jordan though, that the city could hardly keep up with construction. Land would have to be used a bit more effeciently so most new homes were actually appartment buildings and the first area to see heavy development of them was, yes, southern Jordan.
However this (future) part of town would be one of the most isolated parts of the city in terms of infrastructure. Of course it would have the mandatory bus stops and it was somewhat close to the station, but with so many people living so close together a better route to the other side of town (and thus the road to the industrial area at Mount Jordan) was a must.

The eastern ringway would follow along the edge of the farmland to the east, allowing a long stretch of road to be built without having to demolish any buildings at all. This was both the cheapest and fastest option for Jordan. The ringway would consist of a double lane road in both directions.
