Motorway south from Marrakech
Just treated myself to a new "742" Maroc for January -- I see the motorway construction south from Marrakech is shown on there -- anyone know how far south it currently goes??? Have they got it to Agadir yet???

Is it a toll road? If so, how much for a bike?

Yes it's a toll motorway, can't remember the costs, but they are low.

At least two petrol stations, Total one is open, the Afriquia one is a couple of weeks off opening.

Hi Chaps, glad this is finished i was on it last year and the only traffic i passed was a donkey cart.

I'm planning for next april so anyone have an idea of how long it would take to get from Tangier to Agadir i tend to roll at 60mph.

I did it last week.
From Agadir to Casa in 4 hours, ~400 km, 140 Dirhams for a car.
The first petrol station towards north is just before the exit of Chihaoua on km ~160 after the beginning of the highway. There is one under construction on km ~90, towards north probably operational in the next weeks, towards south it will take some months (no buildings to see, only diggers).
