Perhaps encouraged by the recent opening of the underground railway of the Bosphorus, Morocco launches the mega project of an underwater tunnel in the Strait of Gibraltar.
The Ministry of Transportation of the North African country, Mohamed Najib Boulif (in the picture) reported the news in Bruxelles, just before taking part to the second Ministrial Euro-Mediterranean conference on transports.
“The underwater tunnel to link Morocco and Spain – declared Boulif – is the Century’s big project on which the countries of the Region will have to seriously focus and put at the top of the Mediterranean agenda”. The Ministry explained that Morocco aims at proposing to its partners, in two or three years, a techincally reliable plan, in order to convince the countries of the Region and a certain number of financial supporters to adhere to this titanic project that has been talked about since the early 90s.
