Strategic Infrastructure Projects in Morocco Near Completion
The Moroccan National Highways Company (ADM) has announced that the Tit Mellil–Berrechid highway and the Ain Harrouda and Sidi Maârouf interchanges are nearing completion. These projects, which were initially scheduled for 2026, will be finalized several months ahead of schedule. The completion of these infrastructure developments coincides with significant national celebrations, including the 50th anniversary of the Green March, the 70th anniversary of Independence, and the recent adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2797.
In a statement, ADM reaffirmed its commitment to equipping the Kingdom with modern, safe, and efficient road infrastructure, aligning with the forward-looking and modernizing vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. The company emphasized its role in supporting Morocco’s development momentum by contributing to economic, social, and territorial growth. This includes facilitating easier access to key infrastructure and improving mobility, safety, and traffic flow across the country.
Key Projects and Their Impact
The three major projects—Tit Mellil–Berrechid Highway, Ain Harrouda Interchange, and Sidi Maârouf Interchange—are part of ADM’s strategic efforts to enhance national infrastructure. Each project is designed to address specific transportation challenges and improve connectivity within Morocco.
Tit Mellil–Berrechid Highway
This new highway spans over 30 kilometers and marks Morocco’s first next-generation highway. Designed with 2×3 lanes from the outset, it connects Tit Mellil to Berrechid, significantly easing traffic congestion in Greater Casablanca. The highway will reduce travel time and distance for drivers coming from the east and north toward the south and central regions of the country.
Ain Harrouda Interchange
This project aims to alleviate traffic congestion and enhance safety on a busy stretch connecting the Mohammedia West exit to the Ain Harrouda junction. As one of the most heavily used segments in the Kingdom, the interchange plays a crucial role in connecting northern and southern Morocco while providing access to Casablanca and the industrial zone of Mohammedia.
The redevelopment includes the construction of 10 engineering structures, the creation of new lanes totaling up to eight in each direction, and the addition of a new overpass above the current Mohammedia industrial area roundabout.
Sidi Maârouf Interchange
This unprecedented project, the first of its kind in Morocco, is designed to ease traffic at a key junction linking the Casablanca ring road to the Casablanca–Berrechid highway at the southern entrance to the economic capital.
The redevelopment is being carried out on three levels and includes the construction of eight engineering structures, new access roads, and the expansion of both highways to 2×5 lanes on either side of the interchange.
Conclusion
These infrastructure developments highlight ADM’s dedication to modernizing Morocco’s road network and supporting the country’s ongoing growth. By completing these projects ahead of schedule, ADM is not only enhancing transportation efficiency but also contributing to the nation’s ability to host major international events. The successful execution of these projects underscores the importance of strategic planning and investment in infrastructure as a cornerstone of sustainable development.
