Overview
This was the usual corridor to Chard prior to recent insecurity. The Touboro crossing point has now partially replaced it as the usual corridor.
Note: There is no escort requirement on this axe anymore. But daily patrols are done by multinational and national forces to ensure security of the road. Furthermore, truck drivers prefer to travel in convoy in case of incidents.
