Tangier–Casablanca–Marrakech railway route project, Morocco
Name and Location
Tangier–Casablanca–Marrakech railway route project, Morocco.
Client
Moroccan National Railways Office.
Project Description
The project involves the construction of a second line linking the cities of Settat and Marrakech. The doubling of this 142 km stretch will save time and allow for increased passenger and freight traffic between Casablanca and Marrakech, its main tourist centre.
The yearly passenger volume could, thus, increase from the current 4.5-million to more than 7.4-million in 2020, when works are expected to be completed. Freight volumes could also more than double.
Value

Duration
Construction of the track is expected to be completed by 2020.
