Construction of Two Bridges Co...

Addis Ababa, November 11, 2026 (AACRA): Two newly constructed slab culvert bridges have been completed and opened for public service in Woreda 3 and Woreda 7 of Kolfe Keranio Sub-City.

In Woreda 3, specifically in the area locally known as "Girar," the Addis Ababa City Roads Authority (AACRA) upgraded a previously narrow pipe culvert to sustainably resolve seasonal rainy-season flooding. The newly completed slab culvert bridge—measuring 3.8 meters in length and 12 meters in width—is now open to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Local resident Ato Daniel Zergaw recalled that the area used to suffer from severe flooding during the rainy season, posing constant safety hazards. "Now that the Authority has permanently resolved our problem, it has brought immense relief to the community," he stated.

Similarly, to permanently address flood vulnerability around the Anfo Imam Mosque area within the same sub-city, construction on a second slab culvert bridge—measuring 16.3 meters in width and 4 meters in length—has been finalized and opened for service.
