In Algeria the Japanese contracting consortium Cojaal is taking over work on the Djebel Ouahch tunnel project. This move represents a return to the positive for Cojaal in Algeria as the consortium previously had its contract on the East-West highway project terminated. Carrying on construction at Constantine, consortium Cojaal will take over work on the Djebel Ouahch tunnel. The project has faced recent challenges as the tunnel collapsed on the 1st of January 2014.
