SGR Phase II Morogoro-Makutupora to be officially launched

The groundbreaking ceremony to lay a foundation stone that signals the kicking off of the second phase of the SGR project is scheduled at Makutupora area in the country’s capital, Dodoma, according to Reli Assets Holding Company (RAHCO).

The second phase of the country’s ambitious project comes barely nine months after President John Magufuli launched the first phase of theSGR, which according to RAHCO Acting Managing Director, Masanja Kadogosa, is progressing well. Phase two of SGR stretches from Morogoro to the political capital of Dodoma, covering 336 kilometres.

Once the project is complete, the government plans to introduce fast and a modern train with a speed of 160kph. The freight train on the other side will have a maximum speed of 120kph.

Speaking in an interview with the ‘Daily News,’ Mr Kadogosa said the second phase of the project whose completion is set in 2020 is due for commencement and all preparations are in order. “We are currently finalizing the logistics within the government and later we will notify the public as to when we will lay the foundation stone for the project,’’ he said.

The government of Turkey expressed interest to fund the SGR project from Morogoro to Dodoma when President Recep Erdogan toured Tanzania last year. The second phase includes the design and construction of 336 kilometres from Morogoro to Makutopora.

Other phases will cover the 294 kilometres from Makutupora to Tabora, 133 kilometres from Tabora to Isaka and 294 kilometres from Isaka to Mwanza. On the first phase, RAHCO chief expressed optimism that the team on the site was progressing well, saying the work will be accomplished within the set deadline.

The first phase of the SGR project is expected to be completed in 2019. In April 2017, President John Magufuli laid the foundation stone for the construction of the first historic SGR line in East and Central Africa, with the capacity to transport 10,000 tonnes of cargo at once, with potential of creating over one million jobs upon completion in 2019.

During the historic event at Pugu, some few kilometres west of Dar es Salaam City, Dr Magufuli stressed that his administration focuses on improving infrastructure to expedite the country’s economic growth.

The 1.215 billion US dollar (about 2.7 tri/-) project that is currently being executed by the contractors, YapiMerkezi of Turkey and Mota-Engil of Portugal, is expected to create over 600,000 job opportunities, including 30,000 direct jobs.

The 30-month project will upon completion enable trains to travel at 160 kilometres per hour. It will also comprise 300 kilometres railway line, with 205 kilometres being the main line and 95 kilometres intersections.

There will also be six main stations and six mini-stations for intersections. And, upon completion, the electrified train will take two hours to travel from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma and after the whole project is complete, it will take less than 10 hours to reach Mwanza, the same distance that currently trains use up to 36 hours to cover.

All’s set for ambitious SGR second phase to tick

Kutangulia si kufika Jamani lauching stone is to be laid this week. While tender for Phase III has already been announced. Pretty sure for this year not less than 3 phases will be launched.

Thanks Tanzania, Thanks Magufuli for inproving infrastructure

Ni hatua nzuri kwakweli

Hongera jpm

ikikamilika tutarajie yafuatayo:-

1. kodi za nyumba dodoma kushuka kwakuwa wafanyakazi waliohamia hawatakuwa na sababu ya kuwa na nyumba kubwa kwakuwa usafiri wa uhakika utakuwepo hivyo familia zao zaweza kubaki dar.
2. gharama za chakula na mahitaji muhimu zinaweza kuwa nafuu kwakuwa itavutia wawekezaji wengi katika hilo eneo ili kuwa na uhakika wa kipato kwa kuwa usafiri utakuwepo.
3. bei ya viwanja kwa dodoma haitapanda sana kwakuwa hakutakuwa na papara ya uwekezaji.
4. dar itasimama itaendelea kusimama imara kama mji wenye mzunguko mkubwa wa biashara
5. morogoro kuwa maarufu kwa kilimo cha chakula na mbogamboga pamoja na mifugo na soko kubwa likiwa dodoma na dar
6. biashara za mabasi na malori hazitapata faida kubwa kama awali hivyo waanze kujipanga katika shughuli zingine na hasa viwanda na kilimo kikubwa kwakuwa wanao uwezo wa kiuchumi ikiwa ni pamoja na kumudu watu wengi katika ajira.
7. upo pia uwezekano wa kuongezeka watoto wanaolelewa na mzazi mmoja na mfumuko wa magonjwa ya zinaa na hasa kipindi hiki cha ujenzi kwa kuwa mradi unaajiri watu wengi na unaruhusu fedha zisizoterajiwa ambazo nyingi huishia kuhonga.
8. biashara nchi jirani kuongezeka kwa kuwa gharama za usafiri zitapungua
9. kuongezeka kwa ajira na pato la taifa

na mengine mengi mno

Hmm, phase 2 is launched even before construction on phase 1 has even started. It is like the egg of a moth starting to spin silk for the pupa stage even before it has become a larva. Beats the purpose of phasing the project really.

But I do hope itajengwa bila tashwishi, Africa has been the laughing stock for long enough

To believe that there is no sun does not mean that the sun is ice

What I observed ni kwamba hii SGR yetu inawauma kuliko tulivyochoma vifaranga na kupiga mnada cows

Tanzania the official launch capital of the world.

Dodoma kutapendeza

Nauli yake pia sizani kama itakuwa rais hivyo kuliko nauli ya basi... kama nauli ya sasa ya tren ina shindana na basi... hii nazani itashindana na ndege... ndio maana mabehewa ya mizigo ni mengi kuliko ya abiria....

siku zote treni ya abiria hailipi kama ya mizigo kwa sasa bei bado nafuu pia mfano kwenda kigoma kwa daraja la tatu nauli ni 15,000/- wakati basi unahitaji 60,000/-.
hivyo kwa wakati huo mwanza hata wasukuma wakiambiwa 50,000/- watalipa ikiwa wanafika siku hiyohiyo ukilinganisha na basi ambalo watafika usiku sana na wakiwa wamechoka sana na itawalazimu wachukue tax kati ya 10,000-20,000

Sidhani kama hii ni kweli. Nauli ya treni dar- kigoma ni 38,000 wakati kwa basi ni 65.

Safari ya wapi nauli zinashindana?

bravo my President
bravo Tanzania
