Railway connection between the Libyan Borders (Ras Jédir) to the Algerian Borders, Tunisia
| Project Description |
Improving the outline, doubling lanes, electrification and/or new railway line between the Libyan Border (Ras Jedir) and the Algerian Border (connection point still to define), enabling traffic of high-speed trains.
Implementation will be broken down in three sections:
1. North-South connection (Tunis/Gabès);
2. Connection with Algeria (Tunis/Algerian Border);
3. Connection with Libya (Gabès/Libyan Border). |
| State of Play of the Project |
This is a long term project. The terms of reference for the design of this connection’s technical studies and the roadmap facilitating their implementation have been drafted. Tunisia is currently looking for funding for the execution of these studies in 2012. |
| Cost |
The cost estimate for the execution of technical and feasibility studies amounts estimated to 4 Million Euros. Studies will later determine the railway connection’s total cost. |
| Technical Assistance |
1. Drafting Terms of Reference to design of the connection’s technical studies and the roadmap facilitating their implementation, based on Tunisia’s needs => Assistance finalized in 2011 (ToR drafted).
2. Presentation of the project to BEI to explore its interest and possibilities to fund feasibility or construction studies => BEI/CE/CETMO work mission conducted on February 27/29, 2012. BEI is well prepared to analyze viability and pertinence to launch very short term technical studies that are required. |
