Modular Steel Bridges in Ethiopia — Bailey Bridge Supplier for ERA Programmes
Ethiopia's Universal Rural Road Access programme crosses some of Africa's most demanding highland terrain. Evercross supplies modular steel and Bailey bridges engineered for narrow mountain alignments, shipped via Djibouti and launched without heavy cranes.
Why Ethiopia needs fast-deploy steel bridges
- Highland topography and deep river gorges demand long single spans (40-90 m) with minimal pier works.
- Landslide and flood damage on trunk routes requires rapid restoration bridges that later become permanent.
- Remote woreda access programmes need bridges light enough to transport on narrow mountain roads.
