Dar es Salaam. The government of Tanzania has secured a total of Sh570.6 billion in loans from World Bank for the construction of phases 3 and 4 of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), a senior official revealed yesterday.

Phase Three of the BRT project involves construction of infrastructure projects across the 23.6-kilometre stretch of Nyerere Road from Gongo la Mboto to City Centre and parts of Uhuru Road from Tazara to Kariakoo Gerezani.

Meanwhile, phase 4 involves construction of a 16.1-kilometre stretch along Bagamoyo and Sam Nujoma roads. Dar es Salaam Rapid Transit Agency (Dart) chief executive officer Ronald Lwakatare told The Citizen that they have received $148.1 million for phase 3 and $99.9 million for phase 4.

“The funds secured would facilitate the actual construction of BRT infrastructure while the government will be responsible for compensating the people who will be affected by the project,” he said.

He said after the compensations, the government would then announce tenders for the actual construction process to start.

He said though the actual cost of construction is determined depending on the received bids, the amount to be spent on the project would remain within the same range. This was because the funds were in foreign currency.


Earlier last year, Dart said it had disbursed Sh5.7 billion to 77 Dar es Salaam residents to pave the way for the construction of the 23.6 kilometre stretch of the BRT phase 3 project.

Dart said the government had completed the compensation proc- ess but that only Sh124.1 million had not yet been paid to those who would be affected.

Dart is a bus-based mass transit system connecting the suburbs of Dar es Salaam to the Central Busi- ness District which began operations in May, 2016. Construction of the first phase was completed in December 2015 at a total cost of euros 134 million, funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB), the World Bank and Tanzanian government.

Phase I of the BRT system has a total length of 21 kilometres and runs from Kimara via Ubungo ending at Kivukoni, Morocco and Gerezani.


MY TAKE
Tony254 at least 4 more flyovers to come!!


In BRT Phase II so far 3 flyover r U/C!


huu mradi mzuri sana asee... na vile mabas yajayo yatatumia gesi yetu
 
Lakini phase 3 ingefika pugu kwenye sgr terminal ingekua integration kubwa sana ya miundo mbinu
Hata mm nilikuwa nahisi itafika Pugu mana mtu km anatoka JNIA na anataka kutembelea mikumi national park anakwenda zake Pugu fasta anachukua electric train mpk moro anamaliza mambo yake fraction a second.
 
Sure, ni kweli wachuuzi waheshimiwe lkn co wawe na mandate ya kujenga kila mahali, tunaharibu muonekano wa jiji pia sidhani kama watalii wanapenda jiji lililojaa wachuuzi na kukosa mpangilio namna hii, kila sehemu ni hawkers mpk CBD pale posta, tunaharibu biashara za watu wanaolipa mamilioni kwenye maduka makubwa kisa kuwapa favour hawkers wkt ilibd tuwajengee maeneo yao husika, btw masoko tuliyojenga kwa mabilioni ya fedha ni ya nn ss?
Pia ki ukweli wengi wao hawapaswi kuwa wafanyabiasha. Hawana kabisa haiba ya biashara. Kimsingi tunapaswa kuwekeza nguvu zaidi kwenye industry sector ili iwameze hawa kama wafanyakazi.

Pia serikali iongeze kasi ya uwekezaji kwenye kilimo hususani kwa kujenga miundombinu ya umwagiliaji.

Kuwa na hawa wafanyabiashara wadogowadogo wengi kupita kiasi kunaleta distortion kwenye sekta ya biashara.

Mimi ni shabiki wa uchumi ambao means za uzalishaji zinamilikiwa na watu wengi zaidi lakini ni lazima pawe na control.

Uchumi mzuri hauhitaji "wafanyabiashara" wengi sana bali unahitaji "wazalishaji" wengi sana.
 
Nani kachanganyikiwa wewe mama muuza utumbo? Endeleeni na chanjo za majaribio. Kama tutaamua kuchanja watu wetu chanjo ya Covid-19 tutatumia ile ambayo itakuwa reliable.
Nyie mnajifukiza bana chanjo reliable za kazi gani tena..
Tumeni barua ya kujitoa WHO
 
Ifike Pugu ili iunganishe Pugu SGR Terminal na Dar SGR Terminal na JNIA at a go! Ikija kujengwa commuter line from JNIA to Pugu iunganishe Mbezi Bus Terminal na pia Dar SGR Terminal mambo yatakuwa kama Ulaya!!
Enhee umenikumbisha hivi ile Kibaha Highway itakuwa na BRT?? sasa vituo vitakuwa wapi au brt haitajengwa hv karibuni??
 
Hata mm nilikuwa nahisi itafika Pugu mana mtu km anatoka JNIA na anataka kutembelea mikumi national park anakwenda zake Pugu fasta anachukua electric train mpk moro anamaliza mambo yake fraction a second.
Halafu iwe ya Kiwango kizuri zaidi i mean hata vituo vyake viwe tofauti na hivi viboreshwe zaidi mandhali ivutie zaidi
