closed

The proposed project consists of (i) the realignment and reconstruction to two-lane asphalt paved standard of the existing earth/gravel sections of the Ten-Zam Highway from a point 38 miles west of Morogoro to Mahenge (a length of 102 miles) including the Ruaha River bridge at Mauyuni, and from Iringa to Iyayi (a length of 125 miles); (ii) the reconstruction to two-lane asphalt paved standard of the existing paved but low standard sections of the Tan-Zam Highway from Morogoro to a point 38 miles to the west and from Mahenge to Iringa (a length of 45 miles); and (iii) consultant's services for engineering supervision of the above works. Concurrently USAID is financing reconstruction of the highway from Iyayi to Tunduma (145 miles) on the Zambia border. Reconstruction of the Zambia section of the highway from Tunduma to Kapiri Mposhi is being financed by the Government of Zambia, the United Kingdom and two loans from the Bank.
