- A feasibility study has been completed for a new six-lane highway linking the port of Oran in western Algeria with the 1.280 km-long East-West highway to be completely achieved by the end of the year.
- The preliminary study was carried out by Canadian company SM International while the feasibility study was undertaken by French firm INGEROP International.
- Algeria’s Government is investing US$253.4 million in the project, which will include upgrades to surrounding roads to relieve road traffic congestion in the area.
- The project will require extensive earthmoving, excavation and reinforcement works, as the highway will run through challenging terrain featuring steep slopes.
