The expressway went operational in September 2014. The Dire Dawa-Dewele toll road, which was constructed by CGC Overseas Construction (CGC-OC) Group Ltd, went into operation in June 2019. The Export-Import Bank of China financed 85 percent of the Dire Dawa-Dewele toll road project, while the remaining 15 percent was covered by the Ethiopian government. The Dire Dawa-Dewele toll road connects landlocked Ethiopia to ports in Djibouti.
