Morocco’s road expansion programme is proving successful and meeting targets. At the end of 2013, the country had some 730km of expressways in service. The building programme continues and by 2016, the authorities hope to extend this to 1,600km. However a study into the possibility of creating expressways between industrial zones and logistics platforms now has to be carried out to help deliver the road expansion targets. One option is for building expressways that run in parallel with highways to link two regions, such as Tétouan and Fès. Several projects are planned for 2014, including works on the 102km route between Nador and Oujda, the widening of the 148.5km Taza to Al Hoceima route and the doubling of the 27km stretch of road between Ksar Kbir and Larache.
