In Gorgora, we’ve launched the voyage of the Tananesh Ferry, now gracefully cruising the waters of Lake Tana, connecting Bahir Dar City with the newly established Dine for Ethiopia project — Gorgora Eco Lodge. With a capacity of over 180 passengers, Tananesh makes the remarkable Gorgora Eco Lodge more accessible than ever before; a truly worthy destination to visit, relax, and admire the breathtaking natural beauty of Lake Tana.
This morning, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and First Lady Zinash Tayachew, together with senior government officials, reviewed the newly completed CMC–Goro–VIP Corridor—a transformative project connecting the Addis International Convention Center to the Bole Airport VIP terminal. This newly developed two-way road network integrates with the Bole Airport connection road at CMC, creating a seamless link across a key section of the city.
Spanning more than 290 hectares, the corridor extends for 12.74 km and 15.27 km of dedicated bike lanes. With five modern bus and taxi terminals capable, four large parking facilities and 17 designated loading and unloading bays, the project is easing congestion and improving transport efficiency. It also features underground electric and telecom lines, stormwater drainage pipes and new streetlights, ensuring modern infrastructure throughout. The corridor is not only about roads but also about liveability. More than 130 hectares of riverside areas have been developed into vibrant green spaces, complemented by various facilities. Over 320 buildings have been renovated, helping to uplift the entire area.
The results are already visible. More than 350 new commercial shops have opened, business activity has surged, traffic congestion has eased, and public transport services have improved. The green spaces and riverside developments are creating a more pleasant and liveable environment for residents and visitors alike.
