Rabat-Fes expressway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rabat-Fes expressway is an expressway in Morocco; its designated identity marker is A2.
The Rabat-Fes expressway consists of a four-lane expressway of the non motorway-sort before the toll station at Sidi Allal El Bahraoui. It takes its origin at the interchange with the Rabat-Tangier expressway. After the toll station, motorway regulations apply. The road roughly follows the old RP1 past Tiflet and to Khémisset, before falling down into the valley of the Oued Sebou. The road makes a bypass past Meknes, serving it with two exits, before reaching the target city of Fes.
The road was constructed during a total of four years, between 1995 and 1999, and opened in three phases:
- Fes-Meknes (May 1998)
- Meknes-Khémisset (October 1998)
- Khémisset-Rabat (May 1999)
It was the first road where the ticket system for payment was implemented along the full stretch of the motorway.
