    Morocco allocates $2.25b for railway project

    (MENAFN) The Moroccan Railway Office (ONCF) said that it has earmarked $2.25 billion for the Casablanca-Tangier high speed train (TGV), Morocco Business reported. This project is part of ONCF's 2010-1015 program-contract, signed with the state earlier this year, which provides for the realization of a development plan worth $3.69 billion. When operational in 2015, the new train will reduce travel time between the two cities by half, from 4 hours and 45 minutes to 2 hours and 10 minutes. Construction works will start in June.
