It is known that the Government of Ethiopia is undertaking vast and numerous developmental programs to achieve the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) series laid out for the holistic renaissance of the country. The Addis Ababa – Adama Expressway (AAE) is one of the construction mega projects developed as part of GTP-I which is open for traffic and administered by the Ethiopian Toll Roads Enterprise. Other expressways (Modjo-Hawassa and Adama-Awash) are underway and many more are planned for future development and operation in line with the dynamic socio-economic development of Ethiopia.
The Ethiopian Toll Roads Enterprise (ETRE) is steadfast in its mission to deliver top-notch toll road services that operate without interruption, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Since the commencement of its operations on the Addis-Adama toll road in September 2007 E.C., ETRE has grown to manage three crucial toll roads: Addis-Adama, Mojo-Batu, and Diredawa-Dawale.
These toll roads are pivotal to Ethiopia’s infrastructure, facilitating the movement of people and goods across the country. The Addis-Adama toll road, for instance, serves as a major corridor connecting the capital city with key commercial and industrial areas. By providing consistent and reliable access, ETRE ensures that these roads help reduce travel times, decrease fuel consumption, and minimize vehicle wear and tear.
ETRE’s commitment to operational excellence translates into a well-maintained road network that supports economic growth. Regular maintenance schedules and rapid response to road damage ensure that the toll roads remain in optimal condition. This not only enhances the travel experience but also promotes safer and more efficient transportation, contributing to Ethiopia’s economic development by ensuring smooth logistics for businesses and convenient travel for commuters.
