Djen Djen Port highway link progress hits 68 percent

During a parliamentary session, the Minister of Public Works and Basic Infrastructure, Abdelkader Djellaoui, reported that the highway connecting Djen Djen port to the East-West motorway has reached a 68 percent completion rate. Spanning 110 km across Jijel, Mila, and Sétif, the road is vital for trade and logistics. The minister noted that the project, which has faced delays since 2014, requires financial adjustments and steady funding to ensure completion. The ministry is also prioritizing other infrastructure developments, including a proposed road link between Chellala and Naâma for the 2027 budget, alongside efforts to expedite construction on National Road No. 6 between Bordj Badji Mokhtar and Timiaouine.
