Société du Tramway de Rabat-Salé in Morocco (STRS) has appointed a consortium of Colas Rail and its Morocco-based construction subsidiary, GTR, to build the extension of Line 2 of the Rabat-Salé tramway. This extension will connect Rabat’s Yacoub El Mansour district and Salé’s new hospital to the tramway network. Construction work will start this August and the line extension is scheduled to start running in the second half of 2019.
The EUR 29 million (£26 million) contract includes installing the tram platforms, laying rails and installing rail signalling equipment over a total distance of 7km. Colas will also add an additional storage track to the Hay Karima depot and relocate the tram stop serving Salé train station.
