The decision to expropriate more than 20 plots located under the control of the Mers Sultan redemption workers in the Casablanca-Settat region came into force with the aim of achieving the public interest within the framework of the line construction project high-speed rail which will connect the cities of Kenitra and Marrakech.
The Minister of Transport and Logistics, Abdel Samad Qayuh, made a decision published in the latest issue of the Official Journal, relating to various bare lands, mortgaged or containing buildings and squares, and belonging to individuals or groups in Casablanca, in order to support the objectives of the national project.
The decision provides for the expropriation of land located between the two kilometers 173+01 and 380+03 within the Mers Sultan district, on the basis of several legal texts.
This project is part of the development of the Kingdom’s rail transport network, with the aim of improving the efficiency of travel between major cities, reducing pressure on the roads and supporting sustainable development by strengthening transport infrastructure.
The government is seeking to complete the high-speed rail line between Kenitra and Marrakech by 2029, so that it is ready before hosting the 2030 World Cup.
The project extends over a length of 430 kilometers, linking Kenitra and Marrakech via Casablanca, as part of the high-speed transport network launched by the Tangier-Kénitra line.
The total cost of the project is estimated at around 53 billion dirhams, including infrastructure and equipment, excluding new trains.
