Ethiopia is planning to implement several mega projects in the upcoming years as part of its Growth and Transformation Plans (GTP). In this context, Yapi Merkezi will contribute significantly to Ethiopia’s economic growth with the construction of Awash-Weldia/Hara Gabaya Railway Project. The project, which has a length of 389 km, will be built as a single line, initiating from the North East of the city of Awash and arrive to Weldia/Hara Gabaya through the city of Kombolcha.
The Awash – Weldia/Hara Gabaya project has a significant importance as it connects the northern and eastern economic and traffic corridor of Ethiopia. The railway to be built will connect the railway lines from Mekelle to Hara Gebeya and then Addis to Djibouti, which is the main transport corridor for both passenger and freight traffic, and for transport of imported and exported goods via Djibouti Port. Furthermore, the construction of this railway will play an active and significant role in connecting the northern region of the country with the central part.
The Awash- Weldia/Hara Gabaya Railway project shall be completed in 42 months and the design works for the project will be handled by Yapı Merkezi as well. In addition to the length of the main line which is approximately 389 km, station lines are 18 km and the maintenance lines are 40 km. The length of the total line is approximately 447 km.
