Having established a presence in sub-Saharan Africa in the 1970s (Ivory Coast, Benin, Burkina Faso), the Bouygues group started to focus on North Africa in the 1980s, winning major contracts in Morocco such as the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Agadir airport and the Casablanca bay sanitation scheme. Bouygues Construction handed over the Tangiers container port in mid-2007 and has won an additional contract to build the ferry port. In Egypt, the group delivered line 2 of the Cairo metro in 2000 and was awarded a new contract to build line 3 in mid-2007. In Algeria, Bouygues Construction is currently building the new British Embassy in Algiers.
In South Africa, Bouygues Construction completed the N4 toll road linking Johannesburg and the port of Maputo in Mozambique and is working on the 80-kilometre Gautrain rail link between Johannesburg and Pretoria as part of a concession contract.
