The 392-kilometer AKH rail project kicked off in 2015 with USD 1.7 billion in financing from the state-owned Turk Exim Bank. Systra MD, a French firm, was awarded the contract for consulting on the project, while Yapi Merkezi, a Turkish contractor, was in charge of the construction. The railway project connecting central and northern Ethiopia features 10 substations, a dozen 10-kilometer-long tunnels, more than 50 bridges, eight power stations, a dozen radio stations, and one primary workshop center, according to the website of the state-owned ERC.
