The Algerian Minister of Public Works, Amar Ghoul, has called for the swift completion of studies related to the building of a new 220km motorway linking Ténès Port in Chlef province to Tissemsilt province.

Ghoul says the project is seen by the Government as key to boosting Algeria’s economy, as the motorway will open up access to cities and towns, revitalise industrial zones and relieve pressure on the saturated RN19 road between Chlef and Ténès. Large viaducts and a number of interchanges will also be constructed as part of the project. Additionally, Ghoul judged that it will be necessary to link the motorway to the Ouled Farès university campus, which has more than 15,000 students.

The mew motorway project will be conducted in two parts, from Ténès to Oued Sly and from Oued Sly to Tissemsilt. Ghoul said that construction works will be launched before the end of 2013. The Minister recently inspected a number of other construction projects including a rest area in Harchoune and the modernisation of the RN19 between Sobha and Ain Mérane.
