Moreover, According to a statement made today by the head of the Roads Authority on the assignment, the value of the contracts amounts to 400 million dinars.

As a matter of fact, the extensive practices aim at ushering a comprehensive reform of all highways and internal streets in the six governorates, which have been suffering for years due to delays in their maintenance for various reasons.
