Algerian transport minister Amar Ghoul says the stretch of the East-West Highway linking Constantine to Annaba via Skikda will be completed by summer 2013. The works will be completed in stages, with the first part, between Constantine and Skikda, set to be operational by March 2013 at the latest. Once the stretch is fully completed, users will be able to travel from Tlemcen to Annaba via the East-West Highway.
Ghoul said that all the financial and technical constraints that had hindered progress of the work on the western part of the infrastructure have been lifted. He highlighted that work had been difficult to carry out due to a landslide problem.
