Mostaganem tramway is the tram of the Algerian city Mostaganem. It opened on 18 February 2023.[1]

History

In 2012 the project was awarded to a consortium of Corsán-Coviam Construcción and Isolux Ingeniería as well as Alstom (28 %). Construction work began in September 2013 and was planned to finish in 2016. But because of financial problems of Corsán-Coviam Construcción the project had to be reawarded to Cosider Travaux Publics, Cosider Ouvrages d'Art and Alstom.[2] First test drives were published in 2021.[3]

Current network

The central hub of the network is formed by the Gare de Mostaganem stop at the railway station of the city. Here terminates line T2 which connects to a bus station in the southwest (terminus Nouvelle Gare Routière). The other line, line T1, is a north-south line running from university to the southwest.

Line Length Stops Interval
T1 La Salamandre ↔ Gare de Mostaganem ↔ Karouba 12,2 km 20 8–10 min[2]
T2 Gare de Mostaganem ↔ Nouvelle Gare Routière 2 km 4

Rolling stock

The network operates 25 seven car low-floor trams of the Alstom Citadis 402 series. They were built in Annaba by the Cital joint venture. The trams are 43 metres long and can carry around 400 passengers.[1][4]
