Contractor selected to conduct Morocco to Spain rail link study.

A German firm, Herrenknecht, has been awarded a €296,400 contract to conduct a drilling feasibility study for an undersea rail line connecting Morocco and Spain. The project, which has faced delays since its launch in 2003, involves a double-rail track stretching 38.5 kilometers between Tarifa in Spain and Tangier in Morocco, with a 28km section running under the Mediterranean Sea. The study is expected to be completed by June, as reported by local media. [Extracted from the article]
