Algeria has initiated efforts to accelerate road construction and maintenance to improve infrastructure safety and traffic fluidity. Minister of Public Works and Basic Infrastructure Abdelkader Djellaoui has directed teams to intensify interventions on the national highway maintenance program, specifically targeting the East-West Highway to address identified ‘black spots’ in several provinces.

These efforts include repairing bridge expansion joints and managing landslides. The scope of work involves reviewing key projects, such as a 14.5-kilometer coastal road in Algiers and an overpass near Djamaâ El-Djazaïr, while prioritizing heavily degraded routes to ensure user safety.
