Eight roads remain closed in the Moroccan provinces of Taroudant and Guelmim after Storm Charles, including the N10 and N21 national roads, according to the Equipment and Water Ministry’s 12 November bulletin. General Directorate of Roads teams are mobilised to restore traffic on the affected routes.
Eight roads remain closed in the Moroccan provinces of Taroudant and Guelmim, including two national roads, three regional roads and three provincial roads, according to the road viability bulletin published by the Equipment and Water Ministry on Thursday 12 November at 12pm. Another provincial road, the P1729 between Tamzourte and Tataoute, has been reopened.
In Taroudant, closures notably affect the N10 national road between Taroudant and Talouine, the R122 regional road between Amskroud and Taroudant, the R106 regional road between Ighreme and Assaki, as well as the P1316, P1712 and P1707 provincial roads. In Guelmim, the N21 linking Guelmim to Assa Zag remains closed, according to the ministry.
General Directorate of Roads teams are mobilised to secure the affected routes and respond to traffic disruptions. The ministry recommends that road users postpone travel in the provinces concerned unless necessary, and avoid journeys at night because of expected heavy thunderstorms and gusts of wind.
The closures come after Morocco’s alerts over hail and rain on 10 November and the Equipment Ministry’s recommendations against travel published the same day.
