Construction resumes on Awash Kombolcha Hara Gebeya railway project

Kiswahili

The long-interrupted construction of the 392-kilometre Awash Kombolcha Hara Gebeya railway project has resumed in Ethiopia.

The construction of the Awash Kombolcha Hara Gebeya railway project has resumed after a prolonged interruption caused by damage and looting during the northern conflict.

The 392-kilometre line was originally launched in 2007 in the Ethiopian calendar and had been scheduled for completion in 2012. Officials say finishing the project will streamline trade systems and generate significant employment opportunities.

The restart ceremony was attended by Amhara Region Council Speaker Fantu Tesfaye, Deputy Regional Administrator Dr. Abdu Hussen and other senior regional officials.
