Fez Prepares to Launch Two Underground Passage Projects to Alleviate Traffic Congestion

In a significant step towards improving infrastructure and facilitating traffic flow in the city of Fez, local authorities have announced the commencement of a study for the construction of two underground passages at strategic locations in the city.

Two specialized offices have been selected to conduct preliminary studies for this ambitious project, which aims to reduce traffic congestion and improve traffic flow at key intersections in the city.

According to available information, the first passage will be constructed at the intersection of National Road No. 4 and Regional Road 5006, a location that experiences high traffic density, especially during peak hours.

The second passage will be built at the junction of National Road No. 8 and Regional Road 5006, another vital intersection connecting important areas in the city.

An official from the city council, who requested anonymity, stated: “We expect this project to significantly contribute to improving traffic flow and reducing travel time for citizens. It will also enhance road safety and reduce traffic accidents at these crucial points.”

The official added that the initial studies will include an assessment of the environmental and social impact of the project, in addition to economic and engineering feasibility studies.

The completion of the preliminary studies is expected to take several months before moving to the detailed design and implementation phase. The estimated cost of the project and the expected timeline for its completion have not yet been announced.

This project comes as part of Fez’s efforts to modernize its infrastructure and keep pace with the population and economic growth the city is experiencing. It also reflects the authorities’ commitment to improving the quality of life for residents and enhancing the city’s attractiveness for investments.

The announcement of this project has been welcomed by many Fez residents, who hope it will help solve the traffic congestion problems they have long suffered from. However, some remain cautious, pointing to the need to ensure high-quality implementation of the project and timely completion.

In conclusion, it appears that the city of Fez is taking an important step towards modernizing its infrastructure, and it will be interesting to follow the developments of this vital project in the coming months and years.
