Morocco’s motorway expansion on track

Morocco’s Transport Ministry says that by 2035, the country will have constructed 85% of its required transport infrastructure.

The country’s high speed rail project will be the first of its kind in Africa, while new ports will be built in Dakhla, Jorf Lasfar, Safi, Kénitra and Nador.
