Why Europe is Building a $34BN Transport Mega-Hub
Infrastructure 30 Apr 2025
The largest dam Colombia had ever built suffered a terrifying failure when it was nearing completion. This resulted in the evacuation of 25,000 people who lived downstream.
Engineers and construction workers had to quickly raise the dam wall in real time, working 24/7 and in treacherous geological conditions. This mega-dam was built in one of the most seismically active regions in the world.
The plans got the green light from the UK Government – but the building's heavily redacted basement schematics have left many questioning what the site might really be used for.
The lakeside site, originally due to host a 610-metre tower, will now become home to two new residential skyscrapers rising to 266-metres and 233-metres respectively.
Bishoftu International is set to serve 60 million passengers a year, with capacity rising to 110 million passengers once all phases are built.
