From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Morocco's network of expressways is administered by the state-owned company Autoroutes du Maroc (ADM). It runs the network on a pay-per-use basis, with toll stations placed along its length. The general speed-limit is 120 km/h.

As of 2006, ADM manages 611 km of Morocco's toll roads. Another 486 km are under construction. In 2006, it was announced that ADM will be investing 6.18 billion dirhams ($711 million) to develop its highway network in 2007. [1]. These investment packages are part of the objective which aim to complete 1,500 km by 2010.

The main axes are:

Casablanca-Rabat (62 km)
Rabat-Tanger (223 km)
Rabat-Fes (167 km)
Casablanca-Marrakesh (219 km)
Casablanca-El Jadida (79 km)
Marrakesh-Agadir (232 km)

Also, the following projects are to be executed or have been completed:

Fes-Oujda (320 km)
Tétouan-Fnideq (28 km)
Casablanca bypass (33 km)

As of today 529 km of a projected 1417 km are in service. The remaining 888 km will be completed before the year 2010.
