The Société Nationale des Autoroutes du Maroc (ADM) is the Morocco's national authority for the management of over 1400 -km of Moroccan expressways. ADM is based in Rabat.
ADM runs the network on a pay-per-use basis, with toll stations placed along its length. Rental-income from rest-areas and services (fuel, food and drink outlets etc.) form a second income beside the collected toll-revenues.
Not only the management of existing roads is ADM's responsibility, management of construction projects and planning of future extensions is part of their mission.
The total length of paved roads in Morocco has grown dramatically over the past decades, and doubled from 14.500 km in 1956 to over 30.000 km now. Studies in the early seventies predicted a growth in traffic-load of 6% a year, meaning that every twelve years the traffic doubles. In 1975 construction started on the first stage of the motorway between Casablanca and Rabat. Financial restrictions slowed down development and the opening of the last section had to wait until 1987. Two years later the ADM was officially formed. Since that date other motorways were developed. One instrument to allow faster construction was introduction of toll. Revenues could then be used to repay investments.
After completion of the Casablanca-Rabat expressway new developments contributed in completing the much wanted North-South and East-West main links. The East-West link runs from Rabat via Fez to Oujda. The first stage is completed as the Rabat-Fes expressway and the Fes-Oujda expressway is under construction.
The North-South link is formed with Casablanca as startpoint:
ADM uses projects to manage the development of new roads. Each project has its own finances (budget, investors) and most projects split up in segments. Call for bids for each segment are then published and generly open for national and international bidders.
