12/2018 - 12/2021Project Description
The subject of this study concerns the rehabilitation of RN N. 11 between Tanout and Tiguidit: Since 2013, the section between Tanout and Tiguidit (227 km) has deteriorated even more and urgently requires rehabilitation / reinforcement. The European Union financed the studies at the Detailed Preliminary Project (APD) level for two sub-sections of the road, in particular:
- For section between Tanout and Silika (90,76 km)
- For section Abalama – Tiguidit (40 km)
Given the time elapsed and the additional degradations of the road since 2013, these studies now require updating, particularly with regard to the technical solution to be adopted for the rehabilitation / reinforcement works and the volume of work required.
- Abalama and Silika of 86.24 km, realized by SOGEA SATOM since 2004. No recent study is available.
Beyond the rehabilitation of severely degraded sections between Tanout and Tiguidit, it is planned to possibly combine future rehabilitation works with one or more multi-year maintenance contracts, preferably under the “Road Market with Obligations for Results” modality (GENiS/OPRC ) using the tender dossier model developed by the World Bank.
The study also provides for a road safety assessment on the Tanout - Tiguidit axis, with the location of black spots, an analysis of road accident data and the implementation of measures to improve safety. Specific surveys were carried out with users and with local authorities.
