The Minister of Equipment and Water, Nizar Baraka, addressed the House of Representatives on Monday, shedding light on the geological challenges faced by the highway connecting Fès and Oujda. He emphasized that these natural geological constraints necessitate ongoing and regular maintenance work to ensure the safety of its users. This clarification was made during a session dedicated to oral questions, specifically responding to a parliamentary inquiry regarding the causes of fatal accidents occurring on this vital roadway.
Technical studies conducted on the highway revealed that the section in question traverses areas composed of metamorphic clay rocks, a geological characteristic that directly contributes to soil instability and adversely affects the infrastructure. This revelation underscores the pressing need for continuous monitoring and maintenance to mitigate the risks associated with such geological conditions.
In light of these findings, Baraka assured that the ministry is committed to proactive interventions aimed at carrying out necessary repairs and providing adequate traffic signage to support these maintenance efforts. He stressed the importance of implementing all possible preventive measures and procedures to reduce natural risks, ensure smooth traffic flow, and safeguard the well-being of citizens.
