Sfax Metro Deadline Approaches
The Sfax Metro project, which began in 2015 with the aim of improving public transportation in the city, is facing a crisis during the implementation phase after years of waiting and delays. The government and the African Development Bank have announced the necessity of conducting a new technical, economic, and financial feasibility study by August 2026. This study aims to re-evaluate demand, analyze economic viability, improve the integration of the line into the city, and determine the partnership structure with the private sector. These studies will assess the feasibility of executing the project, which has been nearly ready for years but has not yet commenced construction due to changing economic conditions, costs, and the limited validity of earlier plans. The project involves an expanded mass transit network consisting of tram and bus lines, with the region suffering from inadequate transportation options that fail to meet residents' needs, as many heavily rely on private cars. This current step reflects an effort to reassess the project to ensure its sustainability and viability before moving forward with implementation, with the process of preparing partnerships and contracts expected to take several years after selecting the consulting firm.
