"The Ethiopian Roads Authority kicked off the construction of two mega road projects in the Amhara Regional State for 2.2 billion Br.
Expected to be completed in three years, one of the projects is a road that connects Bahir Dar to Tis Esat, while the second one is a bridge over the Abay River.
Bahir Dar - Tis Esat Road, made of asphalt and concrete, extends 22.3Km and costs 767 million Br. Melcon Construction Plc, a local construction company, was hired for the project in July 2019.
The road is expected to boost tourism as the new road will create better connecting routes from Bahir Dar to the Blue Nile falls, a prominent tourist destination. The road will also connect the area with Bahir Dar Industrial Park."
