Road conditions Midelt following earthquake 26/11/19
 
Hi, we're up in Tiflet at the moment looking to travel from Azrou to Errachidia via Midelt on the N13. Have heard that the road is not passable because of cracks following the 3 quakes. Can anyone let me know please if there's an update on the condition. Cheers

There's been four quakes in the last two weeks of 5.3, 4.3 and 3.1ML and then 3.6ML on 16 November.

The big one was the 5.3ML which was more than 100 times as powerful as the 3.1ML, however no casualties or major damage reported from any of the quakes.

Moroccans are well-used to dealing with major road problems (caused normally by flood waters), and if there are some cracks in the road I would imagine the locals will have sorted a work-around within a few hours.

But please report back if you do notice anything.

Snow might be a bigger issue in the area when you get there.

Its well worth downloading the MAroute App which gives traffic news for Morocco
