Morocco to Relaunch Tender for Rabat-Casablanca Highway Project

An authorized source from the National Motorway Company of Morocco (ADM) told the website Le360 that this market will be relaunched within the next week. The financing of the project has been reviewed and the national preference is now taken into account, we are told.

The project, divided into six lots, had attracted the interest of many Moroccan and international companies, including Chinese, Spanish, Turkish and Egyptian. Estimated at around 6 billion dirhams, it will be completed and delivered by 2029, before the 2030 World Cup that Morocco is organizing alongside Spain and Portugal.

The future Rabat-Casablanca highway, about 60 kilometers long, will connect the Rabat bypass, from the Tamesna interchange, to the new southern bypass of Casablanca (Tit Mellil). It will run along the Benslimane airport and the Hassan II stadium of Casablanca, under construction, ensuring traffic fluidity.

The highway will cross seven wadis, including those of Cherrat, Nfifikh and El Maleh. The project aims to reduce traffic jams on the old highway and the national road connecting Rabat to Casablanca, and to provide the kingdom with a modern transport infrastructure, in line with FIFA standards.
