New road stretch for Coast Region

The Tanzania Roads Agency (TANROADS) management in Coast Region said yesterday it will construct a one-kilometre road between Mpuyani and Kazimzumbwi in Kisarawe District to tarmac level as soon as a contractor is found.

TANROADS Regional Manager Tumaini Sarakikya said already a tender has been announced to get the contractor for the project.

Feasibility study and designs of the road project are  complete but Sarakikya
added that the cost would be known after getting the contractor.

The project is an extension  of more than ten kilometres  of the regional roads that had been constructed at tarmac level few years ago between Pugu Kajiungeni and Mpuyani area via Kisarawe town along Dar es Salaam/ Vikumburu  road in the district.

 “Feasibility study and designs are also being undertaken to establish the cost of construction of other roads and know if the projects would be useful and significantly able to pay the cost,” he said.

The regional roads in the district include Mlandizi/ Maneromango via Mzenga, Mpuyani /Kiluvya and Pugu Kajiungeni/ Vikumburu via Maneromango,  Msanga and Chole  most of which are muddy except the Pugu Kajiungeni/ Mpuyani via Kisarawe town stretch.
