At first, the work of two tunnels was undertaken: one at the level of the Rocade of Avenue Asfi, in the Al Massar district, and the other on the road to Safi. These two infrastructures will make traffic in these high density areas, with a view to CAN Morocco 2025 and the 2030 World Cup.

In addition to these two tunnels, six underground passages will be made in strategic places of the ocher city by 2027, notably at the crossroads of avenues Mohammed V and Abdelkrim El Khattabi, at the crossroads of Mohammed V and Hassan II, near Post Maroc, and at the level of Mohammed VI and Hassan II, near the Royal Theater. These works will transform the road network in Marrakech and will reduce traffic jams, pollution and accidents. They will also help boost the local economy and strengthen the city’s tourist attractiveness.

The authorities’ objective is to provide the city with a modern and effective mobility network, integrated into the 2020-2027 regional development plan. The making of the two tunnels should require an investment of 400 million dirhams. These funds will be mobilized jointly by the Marrakech-Safi region, the municipal council and the Ministry of Equipment and Transport.
