The Kétou toll station on the Route nationale n°26 (RN26) officially entered service on 19 October 2026. Located in Bénin, the facility manages traffic flow along this transit corridor.
Operations at the site are managed by the Société des infrastructures routières et de l’aménagement du territoire (SIRAT SA). The state-owned enterprise oversees the collection of fees and the maintenance of the infrastructure at the new location. The station functions as part of the broader regional network overseen by SIRAT SA to support road transport standards. Vehicles traveling through Kétou are now subject to the toll protocols established for the RN26 route.
