Ongoing road construction in Addis Abeba has transformed Taitu Street near Filwuha, where a Hitachi excavator digs into the ground while a red dump truck hauls away debris. The project includes the removal of a long-standing statue of a lock resembling the one in the Parliament compound that has marked the area for years, a move seeking at opening the street into four directions to improve traffic flow. Workers are actively engaged across the site, reflecting the city’s broader push for urban development, road expansion, and modernisation of key thoroughfares to ease congestion in the bustling district.
