Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed inaugurated yesterday (Sunday) a new 60.2km Shambu-Bako asphalt road built at the cost of 993mln Birr. He also launched the construction of two other intra regions road construction projects in Western Ethiopia. Demeke Mekonnen, and administrator of Oromia region, Shimelis Abdissa, joined Abiy at the inaugural ceremony.
Thye 95-kms Shambe Hagemsa road will link western part of the Oroma and Amhara states. The construction will be completed in three and half years. A Chinese construction company-Luqiao Group Company- has been awarded the contract at a cost of 2 billion birr budget, which is given by OPEC and BADEA. Part of the resources would come from the Ethiopian government sources.
The Dembi-Mugi-Dola road construction project which will link Oromia with neighboring Gambella region, can lead to regional development. The road will have a significant impact on the socio-economic ties of not only the two regions but can connect with people in South Sudan.
