New Motorway to Marrakech

The new road crosses the existing road several times and follows more or less the same route through the mountains.

Layout

Over the full length the new autoroute will have:

two standard traffic lanes in each direction, each 3.5 meters wide with a central separation zone of at least 3 meters

One emergency lane / hard shoulder in each direction of 1.5 meters wide

Toll road

When opened users of the new road will have to pay to use it, as is the case with most autoroutes in Morocco. At entrances, exits and near the endpoints toll-booths will be built, and the costs will be based on traffic-type and distance. Regular users can choose for a permit allowing unlimited use during a fixed period.

The existing national road will remain open as a toll-free alternative for the autoroute as well as allowing access to smaller villages and roads. Traveling time between Marrakech and Agadir will be reduced greatly as the autoroute allows overtaking everywhere (4 lane), bypasses villages and allows higher speeds. Possible speed on 2-lane national roads is often greatly reduced due to very slow lorries crawling up a hill while steep bends and traffic from the other side make overtaking hazardous or impossible.

Opening

After an inspection in April 2007 on progress the ADM reported completion and opening at the end of 2009. Like all construction, the dead line is not always on time, the latest news is it will be complete the middle of 2010.
