A7 Agadir to Marrakech: I recently rode the new A7 motorway extension from Agadir to Marrakech which provides a super quick way to escape the horrors of Agadir 
It also helps by providing a speedy link between Marrakech and the northern section of the Anti Atlas mountains. Only one fuel station is currently operational though others are under construction.
A2 Fez to Oujda: This is a massive extension of the Rabar to Fez motorway, linking the extreme east of the country with Fez and the remainder of the motorway network. I viewed several sites along the construction route and it seems the motorway and its 70-plus bridges is likely to be open autumn 2011. Of immediate interest is the stretch between Fez and Taza which helps access to the eastern end of the Middle Atlas range. The motorway is part of a grand scheme called l’Autoroute Maghrébine which is to link Nouakchott in Mauritania with Tobruk in Libya. Sounds great, but until the border with Algeria opens the scheme will be stillborn.
A11 Casablanca to Beni Mellal: Morocco has taken out a €220 million loan from the European Investment Bank to fund a 172km stretch of motorway from Casablanca to the south-eastern region of Tadla-Azilal. The new stretch of motorway was started in April 2010, should be operational in June 2013, and will provide an ideal entry point to both the southern end of the Middle Atlas mountains around Khenifra, and the central High Atlas areas of the Ait Bougmez valley and the Imilchil highlands.
