The project is thus entering its active phase of realizing 104 km of highway to connect the city of Nador and the new Nador West Med port to the national highway network.

Estimated at a cost of 5.5 billion dirhams, the project includes the Oujda-Guercif highway and the Oujda expressway, the future axis that will allow the creation of a structuring road triangle for the northern area and the Oriental region.
