Algeria’s new Sidi Aich Tunnel, constructed by China Railway Construction Corporation Limited (CRCC), is revolutionizing local transportation! 🚗💨 Part of the Bejaia Highway project, this 100-kilometer six-lane marvel connects the bustling Bejaia port to Algeria’s East-West Highway—the nation’s economic lifeline. Opened on July 13, it’s set to ease traffic and boost trade efficiency for thousands of residents.
🎯 ‘This project symbolizes Algeria-China friendship,’ shared a CRCC engineer. The tunnel’s completion aligns with the 65th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two nations, highlighting their growing infrastructure and economic collaboration. Local resident Fatima Zahra told CGTN: ‘Travel time to markets has halved—it’s a game-changer!’
🌐 As Algeria eyes deeper integration into regional trade networks, projects like this underscore Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in action. Stay tuned for more updates on how global partnerships are reshaping economies! 💼✨
