Project Dimension
Project Description
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.
Project Objectives and Benefits
The conceptual plans for the 62.2km road recommend a 6-lane expressway standard toll road with services roads, depressed median and safety barriers at the shoulders. A design speed of 120 km/hr. is recommended. To achieve full access, control structures
Traffic volumes on the existing Dar es Salaam – Morogoro road currently exceed the road’s
design capacity, resulting in severe congestion. The associated long travel times and road
safety issues further hamper socio-economic development in the region. The Government of Tanzania, as part of its national development plan, has decided to construct a new toll road to alleviate the congestion and associated issues. The road network in Tanzania currently comprises 91 049km of roads of which 12 786km are categorised as trunk roads, 20 226km as regional roads and the remaining 58 037km as district, urban and feeder roads.
However, only 6 578km or 7% of the total road network is paved.
