Once the new interchange to the south east of Casablanca is complete, congestion will be reduced at peak periods
The construction of a new interchange to the south east of Casablanca in Morocco will make a substantial reduction in traffic congestion when it is complete. Work started on the interchange in February of this year, once of several major road projects being carried out in the area around the city. The work is expected to take 32 months to complete. The new interchange is much needed as Morocco’s traffic volumes have increased substantially in recent years due to a higher percentage of citizens owning private vehicles, while Casablanca’s population has also grown significantly. Traffic congestion can be severe at peak periods. The interchange project is costing close to US$67 million due to its scale and complexity. The construction work includes building 2km of underpasses and 10 bridges over a 3km stretch. The interchange will improve the traffic connections between the commercially important Casablanca Finance City (CFC) area and the international airport lying just to the south of the city.
