Client
At the national level, each country will implement its own project components independently. The Ministries responsible for equipment, public works and/or infrastructure, acting through the Directorate General for Major Works (DGGT, in Niger) or Roads (DGR, in Chad and Algeria), will be the executing agencies and project owners.
Project Description
The project aims to facilitate overland trade and regional integration among members of the Arab Maghreb Union, the Economic Communities of West African States, the Economic Community of Central African States, in general, specifically among Algeria, Niger and Chad.
The project involves the construction and asphalting of the road sections forming the missing links of the main axis and the Chadian branch of the Trans-Sahara highway, over a total distance of 565 km; the construction of a 543-m-long bridge over the Niger river, at Farié, with 3 km of access roads; and the construction of infrastructure to ease transport and transit at the Algeria/Niger and Niger/Chad borders. In Algeria, 10 km of road from the Guezamm customs post to the Niger border will be built and asphalted.
