Morocco’s road network is being expanded and developed significantly. This is benefiting from an increased budget for transportation infrastructure from the Moroccan Government. The country expects to spend US$2.99 billion on developing its road network during the 2018-2021 time period, reaching a figure of $747.5 million/year. This is a notable increase from the $694.1 million/year spent during the 2012-2017 period and even more so from the $533.9 million/year spent in the 2008-2011 period.
