Project Pipeline

Implement the Dodoma Integrated and Sustainable Transport (DIST) project in Tanzania's capital city

• The 32 km Kimbinyiko Roundabout to Chamwino Town Junction road – This is the busiest road in the city and links the CBD with major demand centres to the east, including parliament and government offices, major commercial centers and markets, the intercity bus terminal and rapidly developing residential districts. The road is part of the 260km Morogoro-Dodoma Trunk Road (T003)
• The 10 km Bahi Roundabout-Msalato Airport Junction road (part of Dodoma-Arusha trunk road) – The second-busiest road in Dodoma, this stretch connects the CBD northward towards Arusha, providing access to the under-construction Msalato International airport
• The 7 km Image Roundabout-Mkonze bus stand road (part of Dodoma-Iringa trunk road) – This route connects the CBD with the newly opened Dodoma standard-gauge railway (SGR) terminal and the bus station at Mkonze. The work will address the growing demand from the south and the need to better interconnect Dodoma’s transport infrastructure and enhance smooth movement of passengers to and from the SGR terminal and the rapidly developing neighbourhoods surrounding it
• In addition, the DIST scheme will finance improvements of 4.8 km of primary CBD roads including the Mpwapwa road from the Bunge area through Chako ni Chako to the Machinga complex and the connection from the Kimbinyiko roundabout through Jamatini to Kuu Street and the airport roundabout. Work will include providing improved walking and cycling infrastructure, drainage, street lighting and improved traffic management
• Moreover, selected access roads have been identified for improvement through a complete streets approach comprising upgrading of the road surface to a paved standard, walkways, cycleways, improved drainage and street lighting, and daladala stops
• The project will also look to reinforce Dodoma’s prevalent use of walking for transportation and its sustainable city aspirations through the addition of about 60 km of pedestrian and cycleways to existing roads and unpaved pathways across the city
