On Wednesday, September 23, 2026, Monastir Governor, Issa Moussa, gave the green light for the commencement of renovation and maintenance work on regional road number 100, connecting the cities of Monastir and Sahel. The project, which spans from kilometer point 28+000 to 29+000, near the "Noval Ar" intersection, aims to restore the road to its technical specifications and ensure better traffic safety.
The scope of work includes the construction of base and foundation layers, surface coating with asphalt concrete, and reconstruction of sidewalks, in addition to horizontal and vertical signage. Due to the closure of this section of the road until the completion of the work, regional road number 92 via the Environment Street in Sahel has been designated as an alternative route. Governor Moussa emphasized the need to accelerate the pace of work and minimize the closure period.
The governor urged the contractor to adhere to the contractual deadlines and provide the necessary human and material resources to ensure the project's progress at the required pace. He stressed that the quality of work and compliance with technical specifications and regulations are essential conditions for the project's implementation. The governor also underlined the importance of strict adherence to approved construction materials and standards.
The project is part of a larger initiative to repair damaged sections of roads marked with asphalt concrete in 2025, which includes regional roads numbered 100, 92, 95, and 82, with a total cost of approximately 4.4 million dinars and a contractual duration of six months. Work began on April 28, 2026, and has currently reached a progress rate of around 40%.
The renovation project aims to improve road safety and traffic flow between Monastir and Sahel. The regional road number 100 is a vital transportation artery, connecting two major cities in the region. Once completed, the project is expected to enhance the overall driving experience and reduce the risk of accidents.
The Tunisian authorities have been investing in infrastructure development to boost economic growth and improve the quality of life for citizens. The road renovation project is a testament to the government's commitment to upgrading the country's transportation network. The project is being closely monitored by the authorities to ensure its timely completion.
The project's progress will be closely watched by local residents and businesses, who are expected to benefit from improved road connectivity. The renovation of regional road number 100 is a significant step towards enhancing the region's infrastructure and promoting economic development.
