Isaiah 11

In verse 16 God speaks about the hiway that he will create for the returning remnant. He said it will be just like it was when Israel came out of Egypt. But I don't recall the mention of a hiway in the exodus story.  There is the reference to the Way (Exodus 23:20) but I take that to mean as they travel together not a prepared road. But then again God had indeed prepared a road for the people to travel; it just wasn't paved with asphalt. So had God already prepared a road back from exile long before Judah was sent away. That is a good reminder to us in the last days that God planned the redemption road for us in Jesus long before God incarnate walked the earth. God has always been a road builder.
It took me about 5 minutes to read this passage.
