Roads in this Ankober include one built in June 1985 to link the village of Dinki with the rest of the woreda, as part of a "Food-for-Work" program to help victims of the 1984–1985 famine.

Until the road was completed, Dinki could only be reached by a two-day mule ride from Debre Berhan down steep mountain slopes.

Three years after the road had been completed, two water mills had been established at the village, as well as new fruit plantations and the traditional cotton spinning and weaving industry had been revived.
