Technical trials have commenced on the Béchar-Tindouf railway line, covering a distance of approximately 950 kilometers. This marks a significant step forward in a project of national economic importance.
The National Agency for Studies and Monitoring of Railway Investment Projects announced the successful completion of initial technical tests for this strategic project, specifically the western mining railway line connecting Tindouf and Béchar. The tests, conducted recently, utilized a locomotive specially designed for this type of evaluation and for future passenger transport.
Abdelkader Mezar, Central Director of Communication at the Agency, stated that the first technical trials on the new line linking the provinces of Béchar, Béni Abbès, and Tindouf have yielded positive results. This line, with a total length of 950 kilometers, is primarily intended to support the development of the Gara Djebilet iron ore mine.
The successful trials indicate significant progress in the completion of this large-scale project. The Béchar-Tindouf railway is considered a vital infrastructure development for boosting Algeria’s mining sector and overall economic growth.
The project highlights Algeria’s commitment to developing its infrastructure and leveraging its natural resources for sustainable economic development. Further updates will be provided as the project progresses.
