The Fez-Meknès Regional Council has announced an infrastructure development plan for the city, as part of the regional development program for the 2022-2027 period, it was learned. One of the projects to be carried out is the construction of underpasses worth 259 million dirhams. This project will help reduce traffic congestion in the city and improve mobility within Fez. This will contribute to strengthening the city’s attractiveness for both tourists and investors.
