Tunisia Allocates TND 80 Million for Road Maintenance in Ben Arous
The Tunisian government has mobilized a budget of TND 80 million to carry out various road maintenance works in the governorate of Ben Arous, as part of contracts to be concluded in favor of the Tunisie Autoroutes Company. This was announced by the Minister of Equipment and Housing, Salah Zouari, on Tuesday.
Budget Allocation
This allocation will cover road signaling works as well as the rehabilitation of certain road sections in the area. Several projects have already been launched, the minister specified during an inspection visit to the site, while others will be initiated soon.
Importance of Accelerating Works
The minister stressed the importance of executing these projects to fluidify traffic and reinforce road user safety. However, he indicated that certain works, like those concerning the reinforcement of the Enfidha road, will be temporarily suspended during the Eid Al-Adha celebrations.
Preparations for Summer Season
Regarding preparations for the summer season, Salah Zouari announced the closure of the Sousse toll station and an upward revision of the tariff applied to the Hergla station. This measure aims to compensate for losses related to the closure of Sousse, while reducing congestion and improving traffic flow.
