The Moroccan Ministry of Equipment and Water has announced a temporary disruption to traffic on Regional Road 401, which connects National Road 2 and National Road 16 through the town of Khmisset Anjra.

The Ministry has assured that the work will be completed as quickly as possible to minimize inconvenience to travelers.
During the closure, drivers will be redirected via National Road 2 between Tangier and Tetouan, then onto Regional Road 4613.
