On 16 June 2019 New Business Ethiopia reported that Ethiopia inaugurated a 220-kilometer toll road linking the eastern city of Dire Dawa toward the Djibouti trade corridor, aiming to ease import-export logistics.
Officials presented the toll highway as infrastructure for freight that still depends on the Djibouti port for most of Ethiopia’s overseas trade.
Kept as infrastructure archive, the New Business Ethiopia report dates the June 2019 eastern toll-road opening.
