The Algerian Ministry for Public Works plans for tolling to commence on the East-West Highway before the end of 2015. The charges will be linked to the maintenance and management costs of the link. A study is underway providing the necessary information required to outline the concession package.
Meanwhile the package for the 84km section connecting Annaba with the Tunisian border via the El-Tarf province is being allocated to two national groupings. Three firms are carrying out necessary repairs to sections of the highway in poor condition. Algeria will carry out the work on the section of highway that was previously being built by Japanese firm Cojaal. In addition, work is commencing on 750km of road connections between the Highlands Motorway and a number of Algerian towns and ports in the north of the country.
