The Cairo–Dakar Highway has a length of Script error: No such module "convert". and runs along the Mediterranean coast of North Africa, continuing down the Atlantic coast of North-West Africa. It is substantially complete except for a few kilometres on the Western Sahara-Mauritania border where there is currently only a desert track. The Nouadhibou-Nouakchott section was paved in 2005 (fr:Transport en Mauritanie). It joins with the Dakar-Lagos Highway (Script error: No such module "Jct".) to form a north–south route between Rabat and Monrovia across the Sahara and around the western extremity of the continent.
Since 1994 the land border between Morocco and Algeria has been closed completely, so the Cairo–Dakar Highway cannot be used in its entirety. Construction in Tunisia continues.
