Heavy snowfall blanketed Ifrane province from Friday morning through the evening, disrupting traffic and forcing the closure of several key roads, according to official sources cited by Hespress.
The snowfall, accompanied by a severe cold wave, led to the closure of multiple road sections, including National Road No. 13 linking Azrou to Timahdite and Ait Oufella, Provincial Road No. 7231 between Ifrane and Hebri via Michlifen, and Provincial Road No. 7216 connecting National Road No. 13 to Al Bagrir.
Regional Road No. 707 between Ifrane and Boulemane remained closed to vehicles towing trailers, the sources said.
According to the Provincial Directorate of the Ministry of Equipment and Water, several roads remained open, including National Road No. 13 between El Hajeb and Azrou, National Road No. 8 linking Imouzzer to Ifrane and Azrou to Ifrane, Regional Road No. 707 between Ifrane and El Hajeb, and Provincial Road No. 7235 between Timahdite and Almis Guigou. The Ifrane–Boulemane stretch of Regional Road No. 707 was open only to light vehicles.
Local authorities urged residents to exercise caution and avoid travel unless absolutely necessary, advising motorists to equip vehicles with appropriate safety gear and drive carefully.
A local official said the provincial governor had mobilized all relevant services and instructed teams to clear snow and reopen roads as quickly as possible. Specialized crews were working around the clock to restore access and ensure public safety.
