Morocco : The construction of the high speed rail line LGV is progressing well

The first high-speed rail line is under construction in Africa. The Tangier-Kenitra section, located in Morocco, is almost completed. The Commissioning will take place in mid-2018.

"LGV Morocco is the first of its kind in Africa," recalls Le Monde. Its mission is to link Tangier to Rabat, and Rabat to Casablanca, to Kenitra. This stretch which is completed, has mobilized 5600 workers to move the equivalent of "60 mountains", anchoring with 100 km of piles , fix 700,000 ties and 48 000 t of rail. It also hosts "the longest viaduct for TGV ever realized".

Once in service in mid-2018, the section will allow the trains to run at a speed of 320 km / h on the Moroccan network. On this project, the National Office of the Moroccan Railways (ONCF) is supported by SNCF which acts as assistant to the contracting authority. On 29, its president Guillaume Pepy, called for the "general mobilization" to finalize the construction site as soon as possible, reported Le Monde.
