About 75 percent of the construction cost was covered by a loan secured from Exim Bank of China. The remaining cost was covered by the government of Ethiopia.
Six bridges, four interchanges and a railway crossing were built on the roads.
The roads were completed six months ahead of the schedule. More than 3,000 jobs were created during the construction of the roads.
