Morocco has inaugurated a major highway linking Tiznit to Dakhla, a 1,055-kilometer infrastructure project designed to boost connectivity in the southern regions. The route significantly improves travel along the Atlantic coast, facilitating the movement of people and goods to and from the Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab region.
According to official reports, the project required an investment exceeding nine billion Moroccan dirhams (approximately $900 million). The highway is a key component of the national road development strategy, aiming to enhance economic integration and territorial development.
The infrastructure is expected to stimulate local economies by improving access to markets and reducing transportation costs. It also strengthens logistical links for key sectors like fisheries and agriculture in the south.
Authorities highlight the project's role in improving road safety and travel conditions on a route that was previously less developed. The completion marks a significant step in Morocco's efforts to upgrade its national transport network.
