The nearly one-billion-dollar investment connects Tiznit to Dakhla, passing through key cities in the Southern Provinces. It includes a 555-kilometer section between Tiznit and La芒youne, a dual carriageway, 16 engineering structures, and Morocco's longest viaduct. The highway improves travel and freight transport, boosting economic attractiveness and trade between the north and south of the Kingdom.
