Algeria has announced a major expansion of its national highway network, aimed at improving connectivity and boosting economic activity. The project includes the construction of over 400 kilometers of new highways and the upgrading of existing routes to better accommodate heavy freight and enhance travel efficiency. Key segments include the expansion of the East-West Highway and the creation of new links between major industrial zones and ports. The $800 million initiative is expected to reduce transportation costs, ease traffic congestion, and support regional development by improving access to key economic areas.
