Tanroads completes construction of an 8.7bn/- Dodoma-Iringa road
DODOMA: The Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS), has completed the construction of the Dodoma–Iringa road section at Fufu, worth 8.7bn/-, and officially opened the road for use.
The construction of the road included raising the road embankment over a 4-kilometre stretch and constructing four large culverts.
Speaking at the opening of the road in Dodoma, TANROADS Regional Manager for the Dodoma region, Engineer Zuhura Amani, noted that the emergency project was executed at high-quality standards to address the previous problem of flooding that had caused difficulties for travelers and transporters.

“The construction of the Fufu section, which used to be heavily flooded, is now completed. But also, the previous culverts were too small to let water pass through, causing inconvenience to road users who often had to wait for several hours before they could cross,” she said.
Additionally, she noted that the project is currently 97 percent complete, with only the installation of road markings and guardrails remaining.
“Congratulations to TANROADS for finishing the Dodoma–Iringa road project. You have done a great job!”
