The Chinese civil engineering group CCECC has won three contracts worth a total of 146 billion dinars (1.46 billion euros) to build railways in Algeria, a Ministry of Transport agency told AFP on Monday.
CCECC will build railway lines between Tissemlit and Boughzoul, Saida and Tiaret, and M'Sila and Boughzoul in western Algeria, according to Anesrif, the agency responsible for expanding Algeria's railway network.
The lines will link the north of the country with the high regions in the west. The Algerian company Infrarail will help build the line between M'Sila and Boughzoul.
The three contracts, worth over 2.0 billion dollars, have yet to be approved by Algeria's commission for public works.
