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