Hibapress -Rabat
Rabat – True to his informed vision for a modern, inclusive and resolutely turned to the future Morocco, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, which God assists him, proceeded this Thursday, April 25 in Rabat to the official launch of the work of carrying out the new high -speed line (LGV) connecting Kenitra to Marrakech. This structuring project, which is an extension of the first Tangier-Kenitra section, marks a new era for national and continental rail mobility.
A royal ambition at the service of sustainable development
The launch of this new LGV is not a simple infrastructure project: it embodies a strategic vision carried by His Majesty’s desire to position Morocco as a regional sustainable transport hub. Through this initiative, the Kingdom affirms its commitment to collective mobility solutions with low carbon footprint, in line with international environmental commitments and national guidelines in sustainable development.
Inclusive, modern and competitive mobility
Over 400 kilometers long, the Kenitra-Marrakech line aims to open up regions, improve connectivity between the country’s main economic poles, and considerably reduce travel times. This project will strengthen the economic attractiveness of the regions crossed, encourage interior tourism and energize local employment, both in the construction phase and in that of operations.
A vision turned to Africa
Beyond its national impacts, this LGV is also part of a continental dimension. Indeed, Morocco, faithful to its African vocation, aims to make this infrastructure a key link in a rail network at high African high speed. It is the realization of assumed regional leadership, at the service of economic integration and South-South cooperation.
A technical and human feat
Piloted by the National Railway Office (ONCF), in partnership with several national and international players, this project will mobilize advanced technologies, while promoting Moroccan skills. This is an integrated engineering model, training and transfer of know-how, which reflects the growing expertise of the kingdom in the railway sector.

By this major project, His Majesty King Mohammed VI once again confirms his constant desire to provide Morocco with modern, sustainable and fair infrastructure. The LGV Kenitra-Marrakech thus stands out as a strong symbol of Morocco today: ambitious, innovative and united.
