Ethiopian Shipping and Logistics (ESL) announced the completion of a crucial 1.2 km access road linking the Dire Dawa Dry Port & Terminal to the main road. This milestone marks a significant step forward in bolstering the region's logistical capabilities.
The completion of this access road signifies more than mere infrastructure development; it represents a gateway to enhanced connectivity and efficiency for the Dire Dawa Dry Port & Terminal. ESL expressed its anticipation for the imminent inauguration of the access road, which promises to elevate the port's service delivery to new heights.
The Dire-Dawa Dry Port and Terminal, a testament to international collaboration, stands as a symbol of progress and innovation. Constructed by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) at a substantial investment of approximately 3.5 billion birr, this state-of-the-art facility was inaugurated in February last year.
Equipped with multiple warehouses, a dedicated terminal, a modern three-story office building, expansive railway lines, and comprehensive infrastructure, the Dire-Dawa Dry Port & Terminal is poised to become a vital hub for trade and commerce in the region. The newly completed access road serves as a vital link, seamlessly connecting this dynamic port to the broader transportation network, facilitating smoother and more efficient movement of goods and services.
