Abstract
Main road 3, a major arterial road in Ethiopia, steeply climbs nearly 1, 500 meters over 40 kilometers through the Abay Gorge. It is plagued by landslides in the rainy season. Some of these are up to two kilometers wide, jeopardizing this vital link. To fundamentally solve this problem it is necessary to implement appropriate countermeasures after clarifying the mechanisms that trigger landslides in this stretch of road.
