The Algerian authorities have announced that a section of National Road 05 and National Road 11 in both directions will be temporarily closed at night as part of construction work on a pedestrian walkway linking Che Guevara Street to the Algiers fishing port. According to a statement from the Algiers wilaya, the closures will take place on specific nights from September 25 to 28. The work is scheduled to start at 11 PM and finish at 6 AM, 5 AM, and 5 AM respectively.
The construction work involves installing technical components for the pedestrian walkway. The Algiers wilaya has informed road users about the planned closures and provided alternative routes for vehicles. During the closure periods, traffic will be redirected. Vehicles coming from Bab El-Wadi and heading towards the Liberation Army Street will be rerouted from the Fort 23 roundabout, through November 1st Street, Che Guevara Street, Hussein Asla Street, and finally to the National Liberation Army Street.
For vehicles traveling from the National Liberation Army Street towards Bab El-Wadi, the route will be redirected from the train station, via the former Magenta Brothers Qara Street, Che Guevara Street, and then November 1st Street towards Bab El-Wadi. The Algiers wilaya has advised road users to use alternative routes and respect traffic signals. The authorities have also apologized for any inconvenience caused by the temporary closures.
The closures are necessary to ensure the safe installation of the pedestrian walkway's technical components. The Algerian authorities are working to complete the project, which aims to improve the infrastructure and connectivity in Algiers. The pedestrian walkway will provide a safer and more convenient route for pedestrians traveling between Che Guevara Street and the Algiers fishing port.
The Algiers wilaya has urged road users to plan their journeys accordingly and exercise caution during the closure periods. The authorities have also reminded drivers to follow the diversion signs and respect traffic regulations. By taking these precautions, drivers can minimize disruptions and ensure a smooth traffic flow.

The authorities are working to balance the needs of road users and pedestrians.
