Construction of a motorway between El Jadida and Safi (142 km). This project has been identified as an important link in Morocco's motorway network since it will: (i) provide modern infrastructure to connect the Doukkalah-Abda region to other neighbouring regions, (ii) establish a coastal connection between two cities that are major economic (agriculture and fisheries in particular) and population centres: El Jadida and Safi, and (iii) open up disadvantaged areas. (Formerly: ADM IX)
