Alstom to Extend Algerian Tramway
Alstom, together with its consortium partners Corsan, Corviam and Cosider, will extend the Constantine Area Tramway in Algeria by 10 kilometers.
Alstom’s share of the contract, awarded by EMA (Entreprise Metro d’Alger, Algeria’s public transport operator), amounts to about US$87 million, according to a company statement. Alstom will supply the integrated system, tracks, catenaries, telecommunications and signalling, substations and ticketing equipment.
The extension will link the existing station of Zouaghi with the new city of Ali Mendjeli and with the Mohamed Boudiaf airport. The extended line, which will span 18 kilometers once work is completed, will be equipped with the first Citadis trams manufactured at the Annaba site (in the north-east of Algeria) by Cital, Alstom’s local joint-venture, formed with Ferrovial and EMA in 2010.
Alstom and its partners will complete the extension in three years.
