Algeria opens 56 road projects and launches 39 more for Revolution Day

ALGIERS — Algeria is bringing 56 road projects into service and starting work on 39 others across 24 wilayas, or provinces, to mark the 72nd anniversary of the 1 November 1954 Revolution, the Ministry of Public Works and Basic Infrastructure said in a statement on Saturday.

Together, the 95 projects cover 853.5 kilometres of roads, according to the ministry.

The projects entering service account for 464.5 kilometres. Ten are development projects in eight wilayas, covering 64.5 kilometres, with five engineering structures such as bridges and interchanges, 19 kilometres of widened roads, 35 kilometres of modernized roads and 10.5 kilometres of new roads. The other 46 are maintenance operations in 16 wilayas, totalling 400 kilometres, including the reinforcement of 222 kilometres of national roads.

The 39 projects being launched represent 389 kilometres. Seventeen are development projects in eight wilayas, about 147 kilometres in all, including 14 engineering structures, 64 kilometres of widening, 47.5 kilometres of modernization, a 3.6-kilometre bypass and 32.2 kilometres of new roads. The remaining 22 are maintenance projects covering 242 kilometres, among them the reinforcement of 167 kilometres of national roads.

The ministry did not publish the cost of the programme, nor did it list the individual projects or the wilayas concerned.

Delivering public works around national holidays is a well-established practice in Algeria, where 1 November and 5 July are traditionally used to inaugurate infrastructure. The regional press has also reported inaugurations and project launches in several provinces, notably Oran and Constantine, as part of this year's anniversary.

Roads remain central to the government's strategy for opening up the interior and the south, where long distances and limited networks weigh on trade, access to public services and the movement of people.
