President Samia to launch phase III of SGR construction project

PRESIDENT Samia Suluhu Hassan is today expected to lay the foundation stone for the construction of phase III of the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway (TRC) from Makutopora to the Tabora region.

Speaking to reporters yesterday, the Tabora Regional Commissioner Dr Batilda Burian said all the preparation was over.

RC said the construction of the Makutopora - Tabora section(368 kilometres) worth 4.4 Trn/ will be constructed by the Turkish contractor, Yapi Merkez.

She said the event will be attended by government officials, representatives from Non-government organisations (NGOs), residents of the Tabora region and from neighbouring regions of Katavi and Kigoma.

"Rail all about the economy, sports, politics. The history is going to be written in our region history," she said.

"It is one of the huge investments made so far by the government to fast track people development, especially to the region residents.

Upon completion, users will travel for six hours to Dar es salaam from Tabora," she said.

Dr Buriani said one of the significant contributions of the project will be to stimulate the economic activities in the region such as bee keeping farming, and chain value addition.

Also, the project will help to promote tourism activities in Ugala river national park and create new direct and indirect employment opportunities for the residents where the rail passes.

On June 21 last year, President Samia Suluhu Hassan laid the foundation stone for the construction of the Phase 5 section of the country’s Standard Gauge Railway

The Phase 5 section of Tanzania’s SGR line is 341 kilometres long and connects the port of Mwanza on Lake Victoria to the Isaka dry port.

The contract for construction of the Phase 5 Mwanza–Isaka standard-gauge railway (SGR) was awarded to two Chinese companies, China Civil Engineering Construction and China Railway Construction, in January 2021. The value of the contract is reported to be US$1.32 billion.
