Abiy Ahmed, the Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has laid the foundation stone to mark the start of construction of the first section of the Adama-Awash Expressway project along the Ethiopia-Djibouti transport corridor.
The project mainly involves the construction of a 4 lane 60km road that connects Adama city, the capital of the East African country’s largest Oromia regional state, to Nura Era and Wolenchiti. The project, which will be undertaken by a JMC and LRBCL joint venture, also includes the construction of a One-Stop Border Post (OSBP) at Gaulile.
