Abstract

The construction of the first railway line in Algeria dates back to 1859. The ambition of Algeria is to achieve 10,000 km of railways by 2020. The priority given to transport infrastructure aims essentially to make up for lost time , This delay represents a major handicap for development and has become the main cause of degradation of public services .
