Work around the future Grand Stade Hassan II in Benslimane is moving ahead as Morocco prepares for the 2030 World Cup.
The National Company of Motorways of Morocco (ADM) plans to spend MAD 39.6m on roads, street lighting, electricity, signs and road safety equipment around the stadium.
The work will improve links between the future stadium, the Casablanca-Rabat motorway and nearby roads.
The first part of the project will cost about MAD 31.2m and will take 12 months.
It will include new lighting poles, medium- and low-voltage power networks and electrical transformers.
The work will cover provincial roads 3304, 3308 and 3323, as well as their links to regional roads and the Casablanca-Rabat motorway.
ADM has also launched a national tender for road signs and safety equipment.
The contract is worth an estimated MAD 8,351,740 excluding tax and will take five months.
The biggest part of this work will upgrade provincial road 3308 to three lanes in each direction between the Mohammedia East interchange and National Road 1 (RN1).
Road 3304 will also be widened to a dual carriageway between Regional Road 322 and RN1.
The project will include the Mansouria interchange and an extension of RP3304 to Regional Road 313.
Road 3323 will be widened to a dual carriageway at the Bouznika interchange on the Casablanca-Rabat motorway.
ADM plans to open the tender bids on 2 September 2026 at 10:00am at its headquarters in Rabat.
Companies taking part must provide a MAD 80,000 provisional guarantee.
All bids must be submitted online through ADM’s purchasing platform. Paper applications will not be accepted.
The Grand Stade Hassan II is being built in Mansouria, in Benslimane province, about 38km north-east of Casablanca.
The stadium is planned to have 115,000 seats, which would make it the world’s largest stadium by capacity.
The stadium project has a budget of about MAD 5bn, or roughly $500m.
British firm Populous and Moroccan firm Oualalou + Choi are leading the design.
The design takes inspiration from the Moroccan Moussem, a traditional social gathering. It includes a large tent-style roof.
The stadium and the surrounding road projects are part of the wider infrastructure work linked to the 2030 World Cup, which will be hosted by Morocco, Spain and Portugal.
