As of 2005, 77 kilometres (48 mi) between N'Djamena and Massaguet had been completed, while the remainder of the 249 kilometres (155 mi) corridor had yet to start due to lack of funding.[10] By 2008 the paved road had reached Massakory.[citation needed] The road is intended to facilitate access to a new oil refinery that is being built at Djermaya to the north of the capital.[11] Massakory Airport is a civilian airport with an unpaved runway of 3,500 feet (1,100 m) in length.[12]
