Cojaal’s Algeria road contract restarting?

In yet another reversal for a key Algerian road project, the Algerian Government has overturned its earlier decision to cancel Cojaal’s contract. The Algerian Government opted to change its 2014 decision to cancel a contract with Japanese construction company Cojaal. The project is for Algeria’s massive East-West highway, for which Cojaal was working on an eastern stretch. Talks are being carried to reach an agreement with Cojaal, which was initially awarded the contract to build a 399km stretch of motorway
