Heavy snowfall hit several Algerian provinces on November 10 and 11, 2019, blocking several key roads and causing traffic disruption.

​According to local reports, major national road 33, connecting Bouira to Tizi-Ouzu, was closed during the rush-hour on Monday morning, November 11. The RN30 was also closed, which was supposed to be an alternative route.

National road 15 near Iferhounene in the province of Tizi-Ouzou was also shut, as well as the RN109 connecting Sidi Bel Abbes and El-Bayadh. It was the same case for Road 172, located between Djbel Chelia and Lyabous.
