The government of Algeria has completed construction of the 1,600 km Trans-Saharan Highway project.
The highway passes through six African countries, namely Niger, Nigeria, Algeria, Tunisia, Mali, and Chad.
Apart from this, construction work is in progress on another 200 km road in south Algeria which is expected to be completed soon.
The Trans-Saharan Highway links Algiers in Algeria to Lagos in Nigeria. Moreover, the highway is expected to contribute to the commercial development exchanges through roads as well as promoting regional integration across Africa.
