Charruba–Timimi Road Explained

Country:LBY
Charruba–Timimi Road
Length Km:186

Charruba-Timimi road is an asphalt road in the Cyrenaica region of eastern Libya running from Charruba to Taban, Mechili, and Timimi. It's about 186km (116miles) long and known in Libya as “Et Terigh El Foghiya” (literally "The Upper Road").

The Mechili-Timimi portion of the road was paved between the years 1975–1980.

The Charruba-At Taban-Mechili segment was paved between the years 1980–1985.

This road has shortened the distance between Tobruk and Benghazi from some 470km (290miles) along the Libyan Coastal Highway, to 450km (280miles), and this route has become essential for traffic between the two cities. However, a shorter route between Tobruk and Benghazi along the Charruba-Abyar track measuring some 410km (260miles) has not yet been paved.
