<p>This project includes development of 3 new berths on the eastern side of Dar es Salaam port, linked by a bridge south of the existing dockyard and fronting the new Kigamboni city extension. The new berths will allow avoidance of access chanel limitations making it possible to handle 6th generation vessels.</p>

<p>Tanzania is constructing the high speed electric standard gauge railway line from the port of Dar es Salaam to the inland Lake Victoria (at Mwanza) (1219 Km) with a target speed for passenger trains travelling at up to 160kph and cargo trains at up to 120kph and a branch from Isaka to Rusumo connects Keza in Kigali (371 Km)</p>

<p>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.</p>
