General Authority for Bridges and Roads imposes toll fee for foreign trucks

The General Authority for Roads and Bridges has imposed a USD 500 toll fee on transiting trucks carrying goods from one country to another by crossing through Egypt. The fee was imposed as a protectionist measure to help local trucking companies, the authority’s vice president told Al Borsa. On a related note, Jordan is looking to renew an agreement which allows its trucks to load up on goods in Nuweiba and return to Jordan without paying toll fees. The agreement is set to expire in April.
