Arab Contractors Finalizes Addis Ababa – Mombasa Road by 2013

Arab Contractors is expected to deliver the first phase of the Ageremariam-Yabelo-Mega road within 6 months, with a cost of $ 54 million.

The road project involves the rehabilitation to bitumen standard of the 193 km long Ageremariam-Yabelo-Mega road section, construction of roadside socio-economic infrastructure, construction of a One-Stop-Border-Post at Moyale and drilling of 12 community water wells within the project area, which is located in the southern and south western part of the country, mainly in Oromia region.

Arab Contractors succeeded – after fiercely competing with 14 Chinese companies – to gain the confidence of the Ethiopian government, choosing the Egyptian developer to execute the project.
