The East stretch will be 220km long while the West section will be 305km long and in the middle will be the 495km Central section. The new highway is expected to provide an important trade route and help improve transport between Algeria and its neighbours and this forms part of Algeria’s 2030 highway scheme which encourages investment in the national road network to improve economic development across the country. The project will be delivered by both international and local companies. However private and public Algerian companies will be given priority in the construction contracts.
