Tunisia toll road concessionaires
Tunisian autoroutes[1] manage the country's toll roads. Their network includes major routes connecting Tunis, the capital, to other cities like Bizerte, Sfax, and Bou Salem. The Tunisian autoroute network is expanding, with the A1 planned to reach the Libyan border in the south and the A3 aiming to connect with Algeria in the northwest. These highways offer a faster and more convenient way to travel between major Tunisian cities compared to national roads.
