Route nationale 13 (Madagascar)
Route nationale 13 (RN 13) is a primary highway in Madagascar of 580 km, running from Ihosy to Tolagnaro (Fort-Dauphin). It crosses the regions of Ihorombe, Androy and Anosy.
It is completely unpaved between Ihosy and Ambovombe, paved but in bad shape between Ambovombe and Tolagnaro.[1]
It was planned to pave the section between Ihosy and Ambovombe from 2009 on with funding by the European Union[2] but this project was stopped due to the political take over of Andry Rajoelina and the 2009 Malagasy political crisis.[3]
