The upgrades will support the Kénitra-Marrakech transport corridor
China’s Railway Shanhaiguan Bridge and Germany’s Vossloh Cogifer have won contracts worth $56.2 million to supply critical components for Morocco’s high-speed rail expansion.
The upgrades will support the Kénitra-Marrakech line, the nation’s most vital transport corridor, Morocco World News reported, citing a statement by the national railway operator (ONCF).
The contract worth $9 million awarded to the Chinese company includes the turnouts (movable track) for the conventional line, which will run parallel to the new high-speed route.
The high-speed line will extend from Kenitra, north of Rabat, to Marrakech, connecting major cities along the country’s Atlantic coast, the report said. |
