According to news reports, Government officials and the National Highway Company of Morocco (ADM) formalised the initiative through two protocols signed last week.
The investments, spanning from 2025 to 2032, will focus on three major projects: the Continental Rabat-Casablanca Highway, Tit Mellil-Berrechid Highway, and Ain Harrouda and Sidi Maarouf junctions
One of the goals of the projects is to improve access to the Grand Stade Hassan II, which is currently being built. The 115,000 stadium 鈥� which will be the biggest in the world when completed - has been designed by Populous in collaboration with France-based architect Oualalou + Choi.
The estimated cost of the stadium is US$500 million and it is expected to be completed by the end of 2028.
Six locations in Morocco will host games at the 2030 World Cup: Rabat, Tangier, Marrakech, Agadir, Fez, and Casablanca.
