Road Improvement and Airport Upgrade Projects in Tanzania

project in planning

The project involves the improvement of 103 km of Zanzibar’s road network and the Pemba Airport upgrade in Tanzania.There are two significant projects underway to enhance transportation infrastructure in the Pemba and Unguja islands.Firstly, the upgrades to Pemba Airport aim to transform it from a domestic facility to an international hub. Currently, international flights can only land in Unguja, but with these improvements, Pemba Airport will be able to accommodate international flights as well. The project includes extending the runway, constructing new terminal buildings, and introducing other necessary infrastructure like a control tower. These developments are expected to significantly increase the airport's passenger capacity.Secondly, road upgrades are being carried out across the two largest islands, Unguja and Pemba. This involves expanding three major roads to four lanes each, along with the installation of street lighting and additional paving. These enhancements aim to reduce congestion, improve connectivity, and enhance safety for commuters.
