Algeria Gate: The first study of the route of the railway project linking Tamanrasset to In Guezzam was at the center of a working meeting held in the wilaya of Tamanrasset, under the chairmanship of Wali Mohamed Bouderaa, in the presence of the directors of the sectors concerned and several wilaya officials.
During this meeting, representatives of the National Agency for Studies and Monitoring of the Realization of Railway Investments (ANESRIF) presented a briefing devoted to the project, in particular in the presence of the technical advisor and head of the agency’s studies department, Cherifa Taghmout, as well as ANESRIF officials and representatives of the various services concerned.
The presentation covered the various components of the project, its objectives, and its expected impacts on the economic and social development of the region. The future line is notably expected to contribute to strengthening the transport network, improving access to the Greater South, and better circulation of people and goods.
Participants also examined the proposals and studies relating to the planned route, while addressing the various technical aspects linked to its realization. Several data points will need to be taken into consideration in order to determine the most suitable path.
Representatives of the sectors concerned were thus able to present their observations and concerns regarding the various proposals, in order to enrich the preliminary study and integrate the realities on the ground before proceeding to the next stages.
With a length of more than 400 kilometers, the future Tamanrasset–In Guezzam railway link is of strategic importance for the development of transport infrastructure in the far south of Algeria.

Beyond transport, the project is expected to accompany the economic dynamism of the region, facilitate exchanges, create new conditions favorable to investment, and contribute to the opening up of southern territories.
This new infrastructure is thus part of the strategy for developing the Algerian railway network aimed at better connecting the southern regions to the main national infrastructures and strengthening economic integration and sustainable development.
