Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>s Ababa, March 14\/2022 \/ENA\/ Ethiopia plans to increase the length of its express highways to 1,600 km over the next ten years from the current 301 km, Ethiopian Road Fund disclosed.<\/p>\n

Road Infrastructure Planning Team Head at the Ethiopian Road Fund, Sadiya Beshir said Ethiopia has been introducing such modern roads in some parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Some of the expressways so far built in the country include the Addis Ababa \u2013 Adama, Modjo \u2013 Hawassa, and Dere Dawa -Dewele.<\/p>\n

The current total distance of expressways in Ethiopia has reached 301 kilometers, she indicated.<\/p>\n

The government of Ethiopia has planned to increase the total length of the express highways in the country to 1,600 kilometers over the coming ten years with a view to expediting the economic and social development of the nation as well as encouraging regional integration, she stated.<\/p>\n

The plan emanates from Ethiopia\u2019s grand vision of 2030, which aspires to make the nation one of the symbols of prosperity in Africa, Sadiya said.<\/p>\n

According to her, the express highways are expected to play key roles to enhancing the trade and economic integration with neighboring countries.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the team leader added that efforts are underway to enhance economic integration with neighboring countries by building connecting road networks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn that regard, we are planning to build additional road infrastructure to connect the country with Djibouti, Eritrea, and Sudan,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
