Antananarivo–Toamasina toll highway

The Antananarivo–Toamasina toll highway (French: Autoroute Antananarivo–Toamasina) is a toll highway under construction in Madagascar that will connect the Malagasy capital of Antananarivo with the port city of Toamasina. Construction, overseen by Egyptian firm Samcrete, began in December 2022 with a projected cost of $1 billion over four years to build. It will be the first toll highway in Madagascar, and will reduce the distance required to travel from Antananarivo to Madagascar's largest port by 110 kilometers (68 mi) and is expected to reduce typical travel time by between five-and-a-half and seven-and-a-half hours. Upon the toll highway's completion, drivers in Madagascar will be permitted to drive the 260-kilometer (160 mi) road at a pace of 120 km/h (75 mph). Tolls for passenger cars will be 15,000 Malagasy ariary (3.92 United States dollars), while tolls for heavy trucks will be 20,000 ariary (US$5.22).
