Construction will soon begin on Morocco's first high-speed rail line, AFP reported on Thursday (September 8th). "I will be in Morocco at the end of the month with King Mohammed VI to lay the foundation stone for the Rabat-Casablanca-Tangier TGV that we will build," French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Thursday. The joint Moroccan-French project for the TGV railway line's design, construction and maintenance was initiated during Sarkozy's visit to Morocco in October, 2007.
The first TGV train in Morocco, which will travel at 350 km/hour, is expected to shorten the travel time between Casablanca and Tangier from over five hours to two hours and ten minutes. It is expected to be fully operational by 2015.
