Algeria envisages road link with Mauritania

ALGIERS, Oct 13, 2009 (AFP) - Algeria's ministry of public works on Tuesday put out to national and international tender a feasibility study on a road link between the southwestern town of Tindouf and Choum in north Mauritania.

The offer comprises a "technical and economic feasibility study" on building such a road, which would be about 900 kilometers (560 miles) long, and is open to firms "having had a similar experience," the ministry announced.

Candidates have until December 21 to submit their applications.

The project was raised at a meeting of the Algerian-Mauritanian bilateral commission in June 2008, when Algeria decided to convert Mauritania's debts into investment schemes, the APS news agency said.

Officials gave no details of how much Mauritania had owed.
