Addis Ababa–Adama Expressway

The Addis Ababa–Adama Expressway (Amharic: የአዲስ አበባ-አዳማ የፍጥነት መንገድ, romanized: ye’ādīsi ābeba-ādama yefit’ineti menigedi, Oromo: Daandii saffisaa Finfinnee gara Adaamaa) is a toll road that connects Addis Ababa to Adama.

[1] The highway, with six lanes on two sides for its 84.7-kilometre (52.6 mi) length, aims to abate the heavy traffic between its two endpoints.

[2][3] In December 2015, construction began on the first phase of the Modjo-Hawassa Expressway.

The expressway will eventually connect Addis Ababa to Awasa through a junction at Mojo.

The China Railway Seventh Group is building the first 57 km, from Modjo to Meki, at a project cost of $171 million.
