Office renovating rural roads

HARAR - The Hararghe Rural Roads Maintenance Office has reportedly started repairing 397-kms of rural and feeder roads in East and West Hararghe zones with over 4.4 million birr.

Office Head Temesgen Debelo told WIC that the renovation of the roads started last month will be financed by the Federal Roads Fund Administration and the Harari State Government.

The maintenance work includes heavy and standardized maintenance on over 80-kms, and light maintenance on 317-kms, the head said, adding that the project would be finalized by the end of the budget year.

Renovation of the roads in the rural kebeles with serious road problems will enable farmers residing in the woredas to easily supply their produces to markets, he noted.

Temesgen recalled that the branch office has also rehabilitated and readied 367-kms roads with over 3.2 million birr in the zones last fiscal year.
