What is the report about?

In today’s national news, the central transportation authority announced that the new north south highway is finally scheduled to open next week after 3 years of construction. Long distance commuters and other travelers have long waited for the opening of the new highway which will reduce driving time from the border to the capital city to approximately 2 and a half hours. When the construction began 3 years ago, the central government was in the middle of a budget crisis and the work was pushed back due to funding shortages. Drivers on the road will pay a toll of 4 dollars to use the highway.
