Project Showcase

Rehabilitation and upgrading of the 197 km of road which would be the first toll road in Tanzania (First 100 km 6 lanes and then 4 lanes). The project requires the construction of a new road, adjacent to the existing road, that will give drivers the choice between paying for a superior toll road, constructed to expressway standards, or making use of the existing road. The project comprises four and six lane carriageways, 8 interchanges, 7 toll plazas and weigh bridges as well as a number of bridges. Tanzania"’s Roads Act 2007 recognises the Dar es Salaam - Chalinze - Morogoro road section as part of the main TANZAM Highway and Central Corridor T-1 route which connects Dar es Salaam and its port with land locked neighbouring countries.

The Ntem River Bridge is intended to close a major missing link between Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea on the Kribi-Campo-Bata road corridor. It will support a continuous regional route connecting Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon and improve access to ports, border areas and national road networks. The approved technical scope consists of a 972 m prestressed-concrete box-girder bridge constructed by successive cantilevers. It includes a two-way seven-metre carriageway, cycle tracks and pedestrian walkways, approximately 933 m of approach road towards Campo in Cameroon and 600 m towards Rio Campo in Equatorial Guinea, as well as environmental and social measures. Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea are the project-location countries, while Gabon is a beneficiary through the wider Yaoundé-Bata-Libreville economic corridor. ECCAS is the regional institution responsible for corridor coordination. The PAP II estimate is USD 447.3 million excluding taxes and customs duties but including physical and financial contingencies. This value represents the complete approved project, not merely a study or one national access-road component. AfDB approved the regional transport and trade-facilitation project in 2023 and provided financing through sovereign operations involving the participating states. Approval of finance supports S3B, but it does not by itself prove that procurement or physical construction has begun. Official project reporting reviewed through 2025 continued to show the operation as active.

Widening of the road from 6m to 7m with a paved shoulder to harmonise with EAC standard. The Muyinga-Gitega road is about 104 km on the RN12. This road forms part of the shortest route to the port of Dar es Salaam and carries 60% of international traffic with Burundi.

The Bugarama- Bujumbura road is about 35 km on the RN1, and forms part of the Central Corridor.

RN18 is a 56km road on the Central Corridor along the RN7- RN18- RN16 route and is a conduit for movement of traffic from Tanzania to Gitega and Bujumbura. RN18 requires upgrading from gravel to asphalt concrete and expansion of the carriageway from 6 metres to 7 metres.

Construction of Rusizi/Bakavu One-Stop Border Post between Burundi and DRC, with Bakavu on the DRC side and Rusizi on the Burundi side. The OSBP lies on the Central Corridor.

The One - Stop - Border - Post (OSBP) is juxtaposed. Offices in Burundi and Tanzania are located in each country at a certain distance from the borderline. In offices, the different Officers (from both countries) are seated side by side and all sevices are done simultaneously.The construction of all offices in Burundi and Tanzania has been funded by Trade Mark Africa.
