Rabat- King Mohammed VI has inaugurated the urban bypass N2 Highway linking the city of Rabat to Salé over the Bouregreg River. The sovereign named the bridge “Ribat Al Fath.”
The project is part of the King’s 2014-2018 Rabat development program launched in 2015 to improve road security and help with the city’s traffic congestion.
The new bypass is 8 kilometers long, extending from Tadla Avenue in Rabat to the national highway N6 in Salé.
The bypass has a vehicle-carrying capacity of 30,000 cars daily, encompassing 28 percent of the total traffic between the two cities.
The bypass also includes a tunnel connecting the Mohammed VI Avenue crossroad in Rabat and an above-ground passage at Zarbia Road in Salé.
The project’s construction budget reached MAD 520 billion, carried out by the Bouregreg Valley development agency.
