Description
Description | A planned 2,570-kilometre overland highway route connecting Egypt to Chad via Libya, intended to serve as a strategic economic corridor linking North and Central Africa and enhancing intra-African trade. The project faces significant challenges including regional conflicts, security risks, high costs, and unstable zones in Libya, Chad, and near Sudan's Darfur region. Approximately 15% of the route inside Egypt has been completed, with some work on the Kufra border crossing in Libya. The project is currently stalled due to ongoing conflicts and instability along the route. |
