    The project aimed to promote economic development in northern and southern Tunisia by constructing a 98-kilometer motorway between El Jem and Sfax. The estimated cost was 16.6 billion yen, funded by a Japanese ODA loan of 12.5 billion yen and the rest by the motorway company. The construction period exceeded the planned 51 months, opening in June 2008 after 76 months. The motorway features six interchanges, 53 overpasses and underpasses, and toll plazas to generate revenue. It was expected to support 6.1% annual economic growth by improving transportation infrastructure. Traffic accident rates declined on both the new motorway and existing roads due to reduced congestion.

    The objective
    The objective of the project was to
    contribute to promotion of the
    economic development in both
    northern and southern regions in
    Tunisia through establishing efficient
    production and logistics system, and
    saving time costs by constructing a
    motorway between El Jem and Sfax
    in the southern Tunis. The project
    has been highly relevant to the
    development plans and needs of

    Project Cost
    The estimated project cost at appraisal
    was 16.669 billion yen, of which the
    Japanese ODA loan with a total amount
    of 12.501 billion yen was to be used to
    the foreign currency and part of local
    currency portions, and the rest was to
    be funded by the motorway company
    (STA). The actual project cost was
    15.355 billion yen, of which the
    Japanese ODA loan used was 10.113
    billion yen and the rest was funded by

    Project Period
    The project period was longer than
    planned. The project period planed at
    appraisal was from March 2002
    (signing of the Loan Agreement) to
    May 2006 (open to public) with a total
    period of 51 months. The actual
    project period was from March 2002
    (signing of the Loan Agreement) to
    June 2008 (open to public) with a total
    period of 76 months, or equivalent to

    Development of the

    In the 11th Five-Year Plan (2007 2011), the economic development
    with the growth rate of 6.1% per
    annum was anticipated through the
    open market policy, enhancement of
    the development of motorway
    network has been considered to be an
    essential investment. Development of

    Changes of Accident Rates on


    Motorway
    The traffic accident rate on the existing
    national road was lowered by half
    because of reduction of traffic volume
    after opening of the motorway to public.
    The accident rate on the motorway in
    two years after opening has been also
    lowered as drivers have become familiar
    with driving on motorways. The reason
    for lower accident rates on both
    highways is likely that the traffic volume
    is much less than the highway capacity
