Reportage Addis which is the diplomatic hub of a world and a
head
quarter of African Union is rising. Though the recent light rail
way makes it busy, one could guess simply what the future look
like. This is what Addis is for and what one call Addis
revival.
Ethiopian Railways Corporation (ERC) commenced the 34.25 km
double track electrified light rail transit project in December
2011 after securing funds from Exim Bank of China.
The project given to China Railway Group Limited(CREC) has two
line rail tracks. One which extends 17.35km from East to West
direction stretching from Ayat village to Tor Hailoch passing
through Megenagna, Legehar and Mexico.
-
Continu And the rest is from North to South direction, which
covers
16.9km. This will pass through Menelik square, Merkato, Lideta,
Legehar, Meskel square, Gotera and Kaliti. The two directions will
have a common track of about 2.8km.
The Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit will have a total of 41 rails
each with a capacity to carry 286 passengers. This will enable the
light rail transit to provide transportation service to 15,000
people per hour in one direction and 60,000 in all four
directions.
Generally, this photo essay will try to show simply the ongoing
light rail way construction in some parts of Addis Ababa. Thank
