Is cycling on the motorway permitted in Morocco? Even here in Holland it's forbidden and if police sees you you'd get a hefty fine.
By the way, is there a trail or pistas network for camel caravans in Morocco?

No it's not because it is dangerous not even for mopeds, but you know, some people do not respect unfortunately :ohno:

No. The photo was taken when the road wasn't officialy open. :lol: But some locals already used it by car and by bike :D Anyhow, you get a fine and prolly a kick in the nuts if an officer finds you cycling on the highway.

^^
maybe one of the workers in that highway

The motorways in Morocco are really nice. They looks very European and they are like a south end of European motorways. Morocco have infrastructure in a very European style. I like that :)

But I miss one thing on the Moroccan motorways. They don’t have any exit-numbers at the junctions. Is it any plans to have exit-numbers at the Moroccan motorways like we have in many countries here in Europe?

Morocco is a member of ASECAP.

ASECAP is the European professional Association of operators of toll road infrastructures. It gathers and represents 17 Full Members (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Norway, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Poland, Denmark, Slovenia and Ireland) and 4 Associate members (Germany, Morocco, the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic).
http://www.asecap.com/english/index.html

We have exits all 30 kilometers approximatively (sometimes less 10km for Tanger-med or Fnideq-Tetouan highway and sometimes more 40km for south highway), because we have toll's motorway. The difference is like autovia (free) and autopista (toll) in Spain.

But when there is a necessity, we built new exit to accompagne urban sprawl and big project like this one between Rabat and Kenitra.

The A? to Tanger Med looks very "european" (it's a general feeling).

The A? to Tanger Med looks very "european" (it's a general feeling).

I think all of the infrastructure in Morocco looks very European. All of the motorways in Morocco looks European but also the railways in Morocco looks European. But I know Morocco's most important commercial partner is Europe and they want to have European standard on all infrastructure :)

I don't agree with you: moroccan highways don't have so many signage, guardrails, viaducs, tunnels or exits that may give them a 100% european appearance. They are quite basic (even though of correct quality). My point was refering to the fact that some sections of moroccan highways looked european because of the pic's particular angle, the weather, the cars, the environment. But yes, moroccan infrastructures tend to reach european standards because of the traditionally tight relationship between european big players and moroccan authorities.

I don’t know if i agree with you or not. ;)

I have seen quite a lot of European motorways and its different with signage, guardrails, viaducts, tunnels or exits etc. Many of the motorways here in Sweden looks quite basic and some of them are just going in the Swedish forests and its very few signage, guardrails, viaducts, tunnels or exits etc. and you don’t see many petrol stations on them in the Swedish forests. But they are a part of the European motorway network. Maybe we think different but when I using the motorways in Morocco I think they are like a south part of the European motorway network but they are outside Europe. And I think all of the Moroccan infrastructure is like a part of European infrastructure but outside Europe. :happy:

Is cycling on the motorway permitted in Morocco? Even here in Holland it's forbidden and if police sees you you'd get a hefty fine.

It's forbidden, you can get a fine (the guy cycling in the pic did it before they opened the highway to the public)

By the way, is there a trail or pistas network for camel caravans in Morocco?

???:nuts::nuts:

For who? the three kings from the East? :lol::lol:

And Fes-Oujda in 2011.

It's not sure but they said by the end of 2010!

I think it will be ready by the end of the world... i'm joking, but if it's not ready this summer, i wouldn't go here ! the national road is too dangerous :bash:

Are there plans in Marocco for a connection between the Maroccan Highway-system and Ceuta??? It could be a good idea, because the borderstation between Ceuta and Fnideq is always very busy. It's just about 15 km.

Maroc : Plus de 600 km d'autoroutes équipés d'un système de radiocommunication numérique selon l'ADM

Plus de 600 km d'autoroutes marocaines seront équipés du système de radiocommunication "TETRA" qui permet d'effectuer des communications dans des situations critiques, annonce la Société nationale des Autoroutes du Maroc (ADM) dans un communiqué.


Cette première opération va doter les axes Casablanca-Rabat, Casablanca-El Jadida et Casablanca-Agadir du système TETRA (Terrestrial trunked Radio).

Il s'agit d'un système radio mobile et bi-directionnel spécialement conçu pour les situations critiques comme les services de secours, les appels urgents et de sécurité.

"Il sera rapidement généralisé à l'ensemble du réseau exploité par ADM", assure l'entreprise chargée de la construction, l'entretien et l'exploitation du réseau autoroutier marocain

Ce système, dont l'installation coûtera 22 millions de dhs, est indépendant du réseau GSM et apporte pour les services d'exploitation d'ADM l'avantage de permettre des appels rapides et sûrs.

Le système TETRA garantit également l'absence de risques de congestion et d'interférences, poursuit le communiqué, précisant que "le réseau de fibre optique installé par ADM assure la liaison entre les différentes stations de base et par là, la continuité du service, même dans les reliefs les plus difficiles".

Le recours à cette technologie, ajoute la même source, permet à ADM de "pallier les limites des réseaux analogiques en termes de couverture et de fonctionnalités" et de s'ouvrir sur plusieurs applications pouvant s'appuyer sur le nouveau réseau tels l'envoi de messages texte, la géo-localisation, l'utilisation d'applications professionnelles sur certains terminaux radio et la connexion aux applications centrales.

On m'a dit que l'autoroute sera prete dans le mois 6

Lancement des travaux de l’autoroute BERRECHID- BENI MELLAL

(12/04/2010)

Dans le cadre du développement du réseau autoroutier national, Sa majesté Le Roi, que Dieu Le Glorifie, a procédé le 12 mars 2010 au lancement des travaux de construction de l’autoroute Berrechid- Béni Mellal…

La construction de cette autoroute, d’une longueur de 172 Km, sera conforme aux niveaux de normes les plus élevées et nécessitera de remuer 35 millions de m3 de terre et la réalisation de plusieurs ouvrages et en particulier 4 grands ponts sur les oueds Bougerroum, Oum Rabie, Derna et oued Arricha.

Un important nœud autoroutier permettra de relier ce tronçon directement aux autres tronçons allant vers Casablanca et le Nord et vers Marrakech et le Sud, complétant le réseau autoroutier Nord-Sud entre Tanger et Agadir et Est-Ouest entre Rabat et Oujda et permettant de l’étendre à la zone centrale du pays, riche de ses ressources et de son potentiel de développement.

Ce projet constitue, dans ce sens, une action importante en termes d’aménagement du territoire, du fait de l’incidence régionale forte qui en est attendue. Cette zone jouit en effet des richesses certaines dont regorge son sous-sol, avec à Khouribga le gisement phosphatier le plus important du pays et une zone agricole de premier choix à Beni Mellal, à proximité des ressources en eau exceptionnelles de l’Atlas, le «château d’eau» du Royaume.

L’autoroute, Berrechid – Beni Mellal permettra de rapprocher toute cette zone des principaux pôles économiques du pays et de les relier via une infrastructure moderne offrant un très haut niveau de qualité et de capacité de service, permettant ainsi de favoriser et d’accélérer, directement ou indirectement, le développement de toutes les régions traversées et/ou desservies, notamment les plaine du Tadla, les montagnes du Haut Atlas (Azilal) et même au-delà, le moyen Atlas (Khénifra).

Le projet suit sensiblement le couloir de la route nationale 11, reliant Berrechid à Khouribga en passant par Ben Ahmed, longeant ensuite la RR312 jusqu’à Kasbat Tadla en passant par Oued Zem et suivant la RN8 pour atteindre Beni Mellal.

Ce tronçon fait partie du réseau autoroutier à péage et disposera d’un système fermé, avec une barrière de péage pleine voie (BPV) au début et à la fin de l’autoroute et des gares de péages au niveau de chaque échangeur. Trois ensembles d’aires de service seront réalisés avec une inter-distance d’environ 52 Km.

Il convient de signaler que l’autoroute Berrechid – Béni Mellal a été subdivisée, pour sa construction, en cinq tronçons:

· Berrechid- Ben Ahmed sur 38,5 Km adjugé à l’entreprise chinoise CWE (China international Water & Electric corporation) ;

· Ben Ahmed- Khouribga long de 38,5 Km et

· Khouribga- Oued Zem long de 33 Km, adjugés au groupement d’entreprises marocaines Sintram-LRN-Seprob-SNCE ;

· Oued Zem- Kasba Tadla long de 40 Km, adjugé à l’entreprise marocaine Houar ;

· Kasbat Tadlat- Beni Mellal long de 22 Km adjugé à l’entreprise chinoise Covec.

Le coût de l’ensemble des travaux est estimé à 6.050 millions de dirhams HT. Leur financement est acquis ou en cours de montage avec le Fonds Arabe de Développement Economique et Social (FADES), la Banque Européenne d’Investissement et le Gouvernement de la République populaire de Chine.

Les travaux démarreront sur l’ensemble des sections pour que l’ensemble de l’autoroute, en vue d’une mise en service durant l’année 2013.

Il est à rappeler que Berrechid-Béni Mellal est la première autoroute dont la réalisation est lancée dans le cadre du nouveau programme d’investissement d’ADM, objet du Contrat Programme avec l’Etat pour la période 2008-2015 et signé le 2 juillet 2008, en présence de Sa Majesté Le Roi Mohammed VI.

Ce contrat prévoit la réalisation de 384 km de nouvelles liaisons comprenant, outre l’autoroute Berrechid- Béni Mellal, le contournement de Rabat sur 41 Km, El Jadida- Safi sur 140 km et Casablanca- Berrechid par Tit Mellil sur 30,5 km.

Avec ce programme additionnel, le réseau autoroutier comptera 1800 km à l’horizon 2015 et aura nécessité à cette date un investissement cumulé de plus de 53 milliards de dirhams.

Rabat bypass. Under construction soon.

http://www.gcm.ma/images/carte_tamesna.jpg

My commentary (in french) and maps byme

Merci pour cette précieuse information. Cette autoroute débutera donc en venant du Nord, 6 km après l'échangeur Fes-Rabat/Rabat-Tanger et se terminera à Skhirat. Quand on vient par le Nord, il faudra prendre la rocade actuelle sur 6 km (limitation à 100km/h) puis l'autoroute débutera juste avant la première intersection de la rocade actuelle qui mène à Sala Al Jadida sur la droite, lorsque l'on entame la vertigineuse descente vers la vallée du Bou Regreg dénivellée de 140m en 3km.

On aura droit à un grand viaduc en aval du barrage.

Par contre, en reprenant le tracé de la carte, et en faisant une simulation sur Google Earth, je remarque que cela fait 36km et difficilement plus. Cela signifie t-il que la rocade actuelle entre l'échangeur Fes-Rabat/Rabat-Tanger et la sortie qui mène à Sala Al Jadida sera reconvertie en autoroute ? Il semblerait que oui car ce tronçon est dessiné en rouge sur la carte. :)

For this june. We don't know excatly when. King is know in North. But Saudi King left in Agadir yesterday. Maybe next wek. Until 10 days maximum.

The Saudi king arrived in Agadir yesterday, but he was received only by the Moroccan king's younger brother. For an infrastructure investment like this in Morocco, it's customary that the king inaugurate it. He's currently at Nador, but he could go to Agadir with just a few hours notice. Some unconfirmed sources in the Moroccan forum say that it will open tomorrow, Monday. But as Gadiri says, it's most likely that traffic will begin to flow before the end of the month in order to accomodate the large number of Moroccan expatriates returning for the summer holidays.

Good news !

The Highway Marrakech - Agadir will open in this month ! :)

Now, Tanger-Agadir, less than 7 hours ! :banana:

Le Prince Moulay Rachid préside l'inauguration de l'autoroute Marrakech-Agadir
Un investissement de près de 8 milliards de DH.

SAR le Prince Moulay Rachid a présidé, lundi dans la commune de M'zoudia (province de Chichaoua), l'inauguration de l'autoroute Marrakech-Agadir, d'une longueur de 225 kilomètres, pour un investissement de près de 8 milliards de DH.

Le Prince Moulay Rachid a coupé le ruban inaugural de l'autoroute, après avoir suivi la présentation du projet par le ministre le ministre de l'Equipement et du Transport, M. Karim Ghellab, et le directeur général de la société des autoroutes du Maroc, M. Othmane Fassi-Fihri.

A cette occasion, M. Ghellab a présenté à Son Altesse Royale un livre sur l'autoroute Marrakech-Agadir.

Par la suite, SAR le Prince Moulay Rachid a emprunté l'autoroute sur 200 mètres aller-retour en voiture.

La réalisation de l'autoroute Marrakech-Agadir, qui a nécessité 4 millions de journées de travail, aura de multiples retombées sur les régions de Marrakech et d'Agadir notamment le développement du secteur touristique et des activités agricoles, l'accompagnement des aménagements industriels, l'augmentation des exportations à travers le renforcement des échanges commerciaux avec l'Europe, et l'attractivité des investissements étrangers.

Cette autoroute, lancée en janvier 2006 par SM le Roi Mohammed VI, permettra également d'atténuer l'enclavement d'une région à fort potentiel économique et de relier deux pôles touristiques importants du Maroc.

Par cette nouvelle liaison autoroutière, le temps du trajet Tanger- Agadir, qui se faisait auparavant en plus de 14 heures, est désormais réduit de moitié.

L'autoroute Marrakech- Agadir dessert, en plus de ces deux villes, Chichaoua et le Centre urbain d'Imintanout. Elle est composée de six sections fonctionnelles: bifurcation de Marrakech- échangeur de Marrakech Ouest, Marrakech ouest- Chichaoua, Chichaoua- Imintanout, Imintanout- Argana, Argana- Amskroud, et Amskroud- Agadir.

Cette autoroute comprend également un tunnel d'une longueur de 562 mètres, 13 viaducs d'une longueur totale de 2.921 m, 90 ponts et 55 passages pour piétons et pour véhicules.

Ces ouvrages ont nécessité la mise en oeuvre de 370.000 m3 et près de 45.000 tonnes d'acier.

Le relief montagneux traversé a généré un volume de terrassements très important puisqu'il a fallu réaliser plus de 37,5 millions de déblais et 27 millions de remblai, soit un total de près de 70 millions de m3.

La chaussée de cet axe a nécessité 380 tonnes de bitume, près de 2 millions de matériaux concassés et 2,1 millions de tonnes d'enrobés bitumineux.

A son arrivée, SAR le Prince Moulay Rachid a passé en revue un détachement des forces auxiliaires qui rendait les honneurs avant d'être salué par M. Karim Ghellab, les walis des régions Marrakech-Tensift- El Haouz et Souss-Massa-Drâa, respectivement MM. Mohamed Mhidia et Mohamed Boussaid, le président de la région de Marrakech-Tensift- El Haouz, M. Hamid Narjiss et le gouverneur de la province de Chichaoua, M. Abdelfettah Lebjioui.

Le Prince Moulay Rachid a également été salué par le président de la région d'Agadir, M. Brahim Hafidi, le colonel-major Mohamed Ouadi, commandant délégué de la place d'armes de Marrakech, le colonel-major Mohamed Khaled, commandant délégué de la place d'armes d'Agadir, ainsi que par M. Othmane Fassi-Fihri, Mme Amani Abouzayed, représentante de la Banque africaine de développement (BAD) au Maroc, l'ambassadeur du Portugal à Rabat, M. Joao Rosa, et les cadres du ministère de l'Equipement et du Transport ayant contribué à la mise en oeuvre du projet.

So all part of the motorway from Marrakech to Agadir is open from today? Or is it only a part of that motorway?

^^

All the parts ! :cheers:

Amazing. This has to be one of the biggest single road openings of the last decade in Europe or Africa. 225 km!

;59028033']^^

All the parts ! :cheers:

That's very nice! That means from now its possible to go from Europe to Agadir only with motorway, except from the ferry from Algeciras to Tanger. That's very good for Agadir to have this connection with Europe. Congratulations for you new motorway Agadir! :happy:

double, can this be deleted?

We are waiting for a bridge... :D

A Strait of Gibraltar fixed link would be quite an engineering challenge. First of all, the Strait of Gibraltar is MUCH deeper than the English Channel, up to 900 meters deep. This doesn't support pillars, thus the main span of a suspension bridge would have to be incredible, much bigger than anything we know.

A tunnel is also an option, but requires a longer route via an area that is less deep. Currently, the proposal is to construct a rail tunnel, but I don't think that's a viable idea, considering the Eurotunnel troubles, plus most Moroccans living in Europe travel by car, not by train. If you don't build a rail tunnel, it saves considerably in operational cost (less subsidies, you can toll cars € 100, but it is not accepted to have a 20 km train fare that is € 100).

Another downside of a train tunnel would mean it's length, because trains cannot take grades generally over 2 - 3%, the approaches would have to be much longer than the actual section under water. That would add an additional 20 - 25 kilometers of tunnel besides the section that is actually under water.

A road tunnel that descends and ascends 300 meters is not easy, but it has been done before, several Norwegian sub-sea tunnels reach lower than -200 meters.

Oh, today already? Cool! Probably one of the most needed roads in all of Morocco. Two large towns with a high degree of trade. Some 40-50 percent of the traffic on the old road consisted of trucks. It was a very dangerous road to drive, very narrow, a lot of bends and also a lot of wreckless drivers. I drove it once, in 2002, and never again. With the new motorway I might once again consider traveling to the pearl of the Moroccan south :)

Amazing. This has to be one of the biggest single road openings of the last decade in Europe or Africa. 225 km!

Well, not quite true. The first part, 50 kms long, opened in January of 2009 so the length of the road opened today was "only" 183 kms. Next year the whole road from Fez to Oujda will open at the same time. That's 320 kms like that. The only thing even close must be the east-west autoroute in Algeria. But even that has been opened bit by bit, and not in one large section of more than 320 kms I think.

Funny thing about the Algerian motorway is that they've built it all the way to the border, whereas the Moroccans are only connecting Oujda to the autoroute. The border has been closed since 1994 so the Algerian part from the last interchange to the border will of course be deserted, and even if they open the border it will take years before the Moroccan side is opened.

That's very nice! That means from now its possible to go from Europe to Agadir only with motorway, except from the ferry from Algeciras to Tanger. That's very good for Agadir to have this connection with Europe. Congratulations for you new motorway Agadir! :happy:

Around Rabat, we have a speedway, not an highway. But a bypass highway of 45km will opened in 2014 !

A road tunnel that descends and ascends 300 meters is not easy, but it has been done before, several Norwegian sub-sea tunnels reach lower than -200 meters.

According to official report, a bridge is quite impossible, because of the sea deep and the wind.

The tunnel is the only fixed solution. They want to make a tunnel like betwenne GB-France. With only one tunnel in a first time, and a second tunnel after the increase traffic. But for car passengers it's not a better solution. Because the time loosing for taking a train, it's the same for taking a ferry or a fast ferry.

It will be good for freight or passengers. With moroccan TGV, Rabat-Sevilla will be at 2h30 min and Madrid-Rabat less than 5 hours. It's not enought. We will see in 2015 with our 1st HSL Tanger-Kenitra if it could be a good thing.

Now for crossing Gibraltar straigt, we have a new harbour Tanger-med. But the straight crossing by car, it's the most expensive ferry line in world 120 euros for a car + 27 by passengers ! So the price is not the biggest problem.

Evolution des recettes de péage et du trafic

TRAFIC


En 2009, les trafics et les recettes de péage (ces dernières exprimées en TTC) ont évolué respectivement de 10,9 % et de 15,4% par rapport à l’année 2008. L’écart entre les évolutions du trafic et de la recette est dû à la révision à la hausse du taux de la TVA (de 7% à 10%) appliquée au péage. Sur réseau stable, sans tenir compte de l’effet des sections nouvellement mises en service, les évolutions de la circulation et des recettes de péage entre 2009 et 2008 sont respectivement de 9,7% et de 12,5%.

The Rabat bypass motorway in project with his cable-stayed bridge over the bouregreg river

The future cable-stayed bridge on the Rabat bypass motorway

Bouregreg viaduct

For the last few years, ADM (Autoroutes du Maroc) has wished to build a cable-stayed bridge for the Kingdom of Morocco.
After a first project studied on the Sebou Oued near Fes and led in 2005 up to the APD stage (detailed preliminary study) by a team composed of SETEC TPI, the architect Hervé Vadon (Strates) and TERRASOL for the geotechnical part, a second opportunity arose with the Rabat bypass motorway, as an alternative solution to a more classical viaduct composed of concrete segments.
The same team presented an ambitious project with exceptional dimensions: a total length of 800 m with a central span of 375 m, a 100m high deck, and two 200m-high central pillars with an architecture inspired by the Arts of Islam.

Why do you destroy these nice pictures with giant copyright names right in the middle of the photo? :ohno: Sometimes you cannot even read the signs.

He claimed in a thread over at the Moroccan forum that it's the only way he can claim his copyright, but other forumers persuaded him to change his ways so he did later.

Is there any planes to build a motorway from Agadir and south?

Is there any planes to build a motorway from Agadir and south?

I don't think so. The density of population south from Agadir drops sharply and it's mostly desert with some small towns and villages.

There is already a dual carriageway Agadir-Tiznit.

Optimus, why does your map show the road to Oujda as completed?!

Is there any planes to build a motorway from Agadir and south?

Not a highway, but probably an expresssway (free double cariageway)

Cable-Stayed Bridge over the Bouregreg River

Bouregreg viaduct

For the last few years, ADM (Autoroutes du Maroc) has wished to build a cable-stayed bridge for the Kingdom of Morocco.
After a first project studied on the Sebou Oued near Fes and led in 2005 up to the APD stage (detailed preliminary study) by a team composed of SETEC TPI, the architect Hervé Vadon (Strates) and TERRASOL for the geotechnical part, a second opportunity arose with the Rabat bypass motorway, as an alternative solution to a more classical viaduct composed of concrete segments.
The same team presented an ambitious project with exceptional dimensions: a total length of 800 m with a central span of 375 m, a 100m high deck, and two 200m-high central pillars with an architecture inspired by the Arts of Islam.

Autoroute Fès-Oujda: 84 millions de m3 de terre à déplacer

http://www.mtpnet.gov.ma/NR/rdonlyres/E0534467-FBE3-4E65-BB2F-89BD67476C43/1929/Sanstitre8.jpg


· Le Souverain donne le coup d’envoi du tronçon Fès-Oujda

· Les travaux dureront 42 mois sur un linéaire de 328 km

· Plus de 9,12 milliards de DH, hors études et achat des terrains


C’est incontestablement un des plus importants chantiers autoroutiers que le Maroc ait jamais réalisé. Le Souverain a en effet donné, hier à Fès sur la route d’Imouzzer, le coup d’envoi des travaux d’aménagement du tronçon Fès-Oujda.
Longue de 328 km, cette infrastructure prolongera l’axe Rabat-Meknès-Fès, déjà en service, et constituera à terme un axe structurant est-ouest.
Cette nouvelle voie de communication reste le plus grand axe autoroutier jamais mis en chantier par ADM.
Le projet comporte 10 échangeurs, dont 6 entre Fès et Taza. Il intercepte de nombreuses routes, dont la RN6 reliant Fès à Oujda, deux voies ferrées (Fès-Oujda et Nador-Taourirt), un gazoduc et de nombreuses contraintes réseaux (ONE, OPEN, IAM). Le tracé franchit également de nombreux oueds dont celui de Sebou. Par ailleurs, de Fès, l’autoroute prend les collines d’assaut, pour mieux se laisser aller dans la plaine à partir de Taza. Elle traverse trois régions du Royaume (Fès-Boulemane, Taza-El Hoceïma-Taounate et l’Oriental).
Son axe a été choisi de façon à suivre les crêtes des collines rencontrées. Ceci pour éviter autant que possible la traversée d’oueds, pour minimiser les terrassements qui resteront néanmoins importants.
Une véritable aventure qui va mobiliser des milliers d’hommes, d’ingénieurs, d’architectes et qui se traduira par le déplacement de plus de 84 millions de m3 de terre, la réalisation de 26 viaducs, 75 passages supérieurs, 16 passages inférieurs et 47 passages véhicules, en plus des nombreux ouvrages hydrauliques, passages piétons et passerelles. Le tout, pour un coût estimé à 9,125 milliards de DH, soit 28 millions de DH le kilomètre, hors études et achat des terrains. Pour disposer du financement nécessaire, plusieurs bailleurs de fonds ont été approchés. Y figurent le Fonds koweïtien pour le développement économique arabe, le Fonds arabe pour le développement économique et social, la Banque européenne d’investissement, la Banque islamique de développement, le Fonds d’Abu Dhabi et le Fonds Opec. Signalons que la quotité de financement par voie d’emprunt s’élèverait à près de 70% du coût total du projet. L’autoroute Fès-Oujda devrait être totalement en service en mi-2010, soit à peine 42 mois plus tard pour 328 km.
Pour respecter cette échéance, le linéaire du projet a été réparti en plusieurs sections. Rien que pour le tronçon Fès-Taza, 12 viaducs ont été extraits de cinq sections pour faire l’objet de 4 autres marchés principaux. Notons que la première section issue d’Oujda sera mise en chantier simultanément avec celles sortant de Fès.
L’objectif est outre réaliser ce chantier en un temps record, évoluer dans l’ultime ligne droite de l’ambitieux programme de 1.500 km d’autoroute à construire à l’horizon 2010. Ce qui permettra une véritable connexion des grands pôles économiques du Royaume. «Il s’agit incontestablement d’une grande ouverture de la capitale spirituelle vers l’Oriental mais aussi un véritable chantier stratégique de développement de Fès», confie à L’Economiste Mohamed Rharrabi, wali de la région de Fès-Boulemane.
L’axe Fès-Oujda favorisera bien sûr l’essor économique et touristique de la capitale de l’Oriental, mais aussi de toutes les régions qu’il traversera (Sefrou, Ras Tabouda, Oued Amlil, Taza, M’Soun, Saka, Guercif, Taourirt, El Aioun et Berkane). Si l’accès rapide à l’Oriental sera également un facteur crucial pour le développement, notamment touristique, de cette région, dont la richesse du patrimoine historique et la diversité de paysages en font l’une des plus belles du territoire. L’activité de la ville Fès ne sera pas des moindres.

The longest one in Morocco ! :banana: :cheers:

The 10 exits :

Il faut regarder l'illustration de l'article pour déjà avoir une idée. D'est en ouest, les échangeurs sont donc :
1/ El Aïoun Sidi Mellouk
2/ Taourirt
3/ Guercif
4/ Msoun
5/ Taza nord/future voie express
6/ Taza ouest
7/ Oued Amlil
8/ Ras Tabouda
9/ Peut-être la voie express vers Sefrou ou Sidi Harazem ?
10/ Peut-être la N8 et l'aéroport ?

This will be the longest motorway in Morocco to be delivered in one block: 317 kms. I'm not sure if there is anything similar in any European country. Algeria might have opened stretches of similar length, but I'm not certain.

I think the largest European motorway openings (in one section) was in the late 1930's, when it was common for Germany to open 100 -150 kilometer sections in one time. Otherwise it went fairly fragmented. Britain did some 70+ km openings, but those weren't too common. France also saw major completions, but most were less than 100 km at the time (most notable A4).

Should be somewhere in July. Altough I heared some rumours about a delay because one of the roadworkers died during construction (which has caused work to stop for a while).

What I heard in the Moroccan forum was that smugglers bringing in black market goods from Algeria had started using the motorway from Oujda to Taza before its opening, killing a roadworker.

Evolution du trafic autoroutier pendant le premier semestre de l’année 2011

Date: 15/07/2011
Source: ADM

Au cours du premier semestre de l’année 2011, la circulation sur le réseau autoroutier a augmenté de 22,5 % par rapport à la même période de l’année 2010, dépassant 14 millions de véhicules.Kilomètres par jour. Le tableau suivant résume les trafics enregistrés par axe tout en indiquant le taux de leurs évolutions par rapport à l’an 2010.

Sur les 22,5% de l’augmentation du trafic 15% proviennent de l’ouverture le 21 juin 2010 de l’autoroute Marrakech Agadir et 0,5% de la montée en charge du trafic sur la desserte du Port Tanger Med après le transfert du transport voyageurs sur ce port, l’augmentation sur périmètre stable est de 7%.

La mise en oeuvre du télépéage sur l'autoroute Casablanca - Rabat

Le télépéage bientôt sur les autoroutes marocaines
Date: 27/07/2011
Source: ADM

Des encombrements se créent habituellement en été sur la barrière de péage de Bouznika, en particulier en fin d’après-midi où se rajoute la circulation de retour des plages. En cette fin de mois de juillet, la conjugaison d’une forte croissance annuelle du trafic sur l’autoroute Rabat- Casablanca (plus de 57.000 Véhicules/jour actuellement) et l’approche du mois de Ramadan Moubarak a créé des pointes de trafic et des délais d’attente encore supérieurs à pleine capacité de la gare.

Anticipant cette situation, ADM avait déjà engagé un projet d’extension de la gare et initié un projet pilote de télépéage sur la gare de Bouznika.

Le projet d’extension est déjà attribué à l’entreprise ENPR pour l’ajout de 8 voies qui seront opérationnelles avant la prochaine saison estivale. Cet élargissement n’est qu’une réponse transitoire au problème de congestion car demain le télépéage prendra la relève.

Le projet de mise en place d’un système de télépéage sur le site pilote de Bouznika avance en effet à grands pas avec l’objectif de faire bénéficier les premiers usagers de ce service en début d’année prochaine. La société nationale des autoroutes du Maroc vient de passer à cette fin un contrat avec une société leader mondial dans le domaine, pour la livraison des unités embarquées appelés aussi transpondeurs, TAG ou OBU (on board unit).

Ce système permettra aux abonnés dotés de TAG de s’affranchir des droits de péage sans s’arrêter en maintenant une vitesse au niveau de la voie de l’ordre de 30 km/h.

La mise en place du télépéage sur le réseau autoroutier s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet global initié depuis 2006 et qui vise à hisser la qualité du service rendu à l’usager via un recours aux technologies d’information avec tous les avantages que cela procure aux usagers de l’autoroute et à la collectivité notamment le gain du temps, l’usage optimal de l’infrastructure, l’économie de carburant et la préservation de l’environnement. Une voie de télépéage a une capacité d’écoulement plus de 5 fois supérieure à la capacité d’une voie traditionnelle.

Depuis cette date plusieurs phases ont été franchies comme la mise en place des préalables techniques qui comprennent la mise en place d’un réseau de télécommunication en fibre optique aujourd’hui installé sur tout le réseau et la conception et le déploiement d’une solution monétique installée et exploitée depuis le début de l’année en cours.

L’entrée en exploitation de ces nouveaux systèmes marquera la disparition progressive des méthodes traditionnelles de collecte du péage et ouvrira à terme la voie pour la dématérialisation de la perception du péage par la mise en place d’un système free-flow qui ne nécessitera plus l’existence de gares de péage.

Dès achèvement des travaux du premier site pilote de télépéage à Bouznika, sa généralisation à l’ensemble du réseau sera lancée et durera environ 12 mois.

Espérons que ce soit la dernière génération de télépéage qui soit mise en place, celle où l'on peut passer la barrière à 30 km/h. :cheers:

When do they open a motorway that link together the Moroccan motorways with the Algerian?

When (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algeria%E2%80%93Morocco_relations) Hell Freezes Over (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Freezes_Over)

So when they do finally settle their differences and build a connecting motorway/expressway, they should call it "الجحيم يتجمد على الطريق السريع" (Or a better translation of "Hell Freezes Over Motorway" than Google) :)

Algeria built their highway till the border and it looks like the realtionships is getting better. Morocco will get Algerian Gaz and they have signed some accords in different key areas like food and agriculture.

I really enjoy seeing these pictures, and hope to get to drive there more often. So far I've only been in Tangiers,on a daytrip from Spain.
Is it really like driving in France?

Driving on the motorways can be, but generally drivers tend to be more aggressive on the roads in the sense that they will take more chances when overtaking for example. Lane discipline in more populated areas is really bad.

Is still French a communication or official language in Morocco?
What percent of the population speaks French there?

Yes, French is still the main language, together with Arab and the Berber languages.

The majority in Morocco speaks French. Percentage is hard to tell, I'm guessing 70%.

Yes, French is still the main language, together with Arab and the Berber languages.

The majority in Morocco speaks French. Percentage is hard to tell, I'm guessing 70%.

I would say that the knowledge of French is nowhere near 70 percent, even though it's hard to make an estimate. People have only begun to become literate in the last 20-30 years. French is not an official language, but it's a language of business so if you want to come across as well-educated you better speak French. That said, only a minority of Moroccans are. So my estimate is below 50 percent.
