This project is part of the Maghreb integration aimed to modernize and rehabilitate the railway between Casablanca, Algiers and Tunis as the first step, and the extension of this line to Libya and Mauritania as a second stage.
<p>The implementation of this project includes the following actions:
</p><ul><li> The modernization of the line in Morocco (Fes- Oujda),
</li><li> The rehabilitation of the section between Morocco and Algeria (Cross-border Morocco- Algerian, Ouida- Akid Abbas),
</li><li> The creation of a new cross-border rail link between Algeria and Tunisia (linking Annaba to Jendouba),
</li><li> The modernization between Jendouba and Jedeida,
</li><li> Different technological interventions for energy and control and signalling subsystems.</li></ul><p>The project serves an existing infrastructure asset of another sector, but there is more than 50% overlap in the geography serviced by the proposed project and the other sector existing asset.</p><p>Tracks, structures and tunnels, to be built or duplicated. In addition, all sections will be electrified with the 2x25 kV electrification subsystem and train management will be carried out with the ERTMS N2 subsystem. One-off interventions in signalling and telecommunications subsystems are also planned.<br></p>
This project, which is part of the Maghreb integration, aims to modernize and rehabilitate the railway between Casablanca, Algiers and Tunis as the first step, and the extension of this line to Libya and Mauritania as a second stage. Therefore, the improvement of this rail link should allow for better traffic flow, better travel conditions and more suitable travel times. Once the project is completed, Casablanca-Tunis will be completed in less than 25 hours instead of 48 hours.
