The Minister of Equipment and Water, Nizar Baraka, confirmed that the government, in accordance with royal directives, has allocated more than one billion and 200 million dirhams to the reconstruction of roads and bridges damaged by recent floods .
Baraka said Tuesday in his response to questions from parliamentarians in the House of Advisors: “The bridge that collapsed was designed to support a load that happens every 100 years, but we were faced with severe floods that occur once every 1,000 years, when we reached 3,200 cubic meters per second.
Therefore, the minister added, the load was significant and caused the collapse of these bridges, indicating that the process of construction and repair of these bridges will take into account these circumstances in the future.
