The Minister of Equipment provided an update on the future Ourika tunnel . This 10-kilometer project, intended to connect Marrakech to Ouarzazate, is facing technical obstacles. The cost is expected to be particularly high.
The Minister of Equipment and Water, Nizar Baraka, presented the progress of Morocco’s major road projects before the Council of Advisors. He notably addressed the situation of the Ourika tunnel.
The provincial directorate of Equipment of Al Haouz is about to launch a feasibility study for the creation of a northern access road to the future Ourika tunnel that will connect Marrakech to Ouarzazate.
The Ourika tunnel could soon see its northern access facilitated. The Provincial Directorate of Equipment, Transport and Logistics has indeed announced the upcoming launch of a feasibility study for the creation of a new access road.
The Tichka tunnel construction project could be abandoned in favor of the Ourika tunnel. This is at least what the Ministry of Equipment deduces.
