The Awash-Weldia 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 Railway project which has a 1,7 Billion USD 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
kms, station lines are 18 kms and the maintenance lines are 40 kms. The length
of the total line is approximately 447 kms.
