Algeria is investing $US124 million to upgrade infrastructure in its Oran Province. The transportation network will see particular benefit with improvements scheduled for around 60km of roads, with work due on the fifth section of Oran's ring-road.

Other infrastructure investments for the area include spending on ports at Oran and Cap Blanc and for new road links to those facilities.
