During his visit, the minister noted the sustained pace of work on engineering structures and rail laying. Of the 120 km of the Hammaguir-Abadla section, almost all the engineering structures are completed, while rail laying progresses at a daily rate of 10 km.
According to Abdelchafi Benrabia, the project’s director, 800 kilometers of track have been installed and approved along the 950-kilometer line.
The remaining 150 kilometers should be completed by December 20, enabling the delivery of the entire project within the same deadlines.
