Algeria’s Enterprise Metro d’Alger (EMA) is planning Oran Metro tender contracts for the first quarter of 2015. “The design has been done by Sener from Spain; the only decision we now have is whether we go turnkey or separate out the system and rolling stock,” said Aomar Hadbi, director-general at EMA, and CEO of the Algerian Subway Authority. Oran, on Algeria’s northwest coast, is the second-largest city in the country. Also work has recently been completed on a tramway serving the city. It is 18.7 kilometres long and has 32 stations. Construction of the tramway began in December 2008 and was built by a consortium of France’s Alstom and Spain’s Isolux Corsan group.
