East–West highway project, Algeria
Name and Location
East–West highway project, Algeria.
Client
L’Algérienne de Gestion des Autoroutes (AGA), the organisation in charge of managing, operating, maintaining and servicing the Algerian national highway network.
Project Description
The East–West highway development is one of the world’s largest highway construction projects.
The 1 216 km highway will connect Annaba, in the north-east, and Tlemcen, in the north-west, passing directly through 24 provinces and linking Algeria to Tunisia and Morocco.
The largest project is the $5-billion eastern section of the highway, a 399 km, six-lane motorway that includes 190 bridges and viaducts, and five tunnels.
The East–West highway will be the first in Algeria to feature the latest generation traffic technology that meets the most stringent international safety and quality standards. The technology will help improve road safety and reduce journey times, as well as driving down fuel consumption and benefiting the environment.
Value
Algeria Minister of Public Works Abdelkader Kadi indicated in November 2014 that the overall cost of the 1 216 km East–West highway was estimated at $13-billion.
