Tanzania - Dodoma City Outer Ring Road (110.2 Km) Construction Project

The present intervention concerns the Dodoma City Outer Ring Road (110.2 Km) Construction Project. The project is a direct response to the need for improved logistics services to cope with the expected population boom and expansion of economic activities in the political capital of Dodoma. It comprises construction to bitumen standard of a new dual-carriage way Outer Ring Road of 110.2 km around Tanzania’s capital city, Dodoma.The Project provides vital infrastructure necessary for a more efficient development of the fast-growing Dodoma metropolitan region. Furthermore, it will also greatly boost regional integration for Tanzania and its neighbours given that the Project site lies at the crossroads of two major continental road corridors: (i) the Central Corridor which connects the Port City of Dar es Salaam to the Tanzanian interior and (ii) the Trans-African Highway 4 (TAH4). The Project will also contribute to easier and faster transportation of tourists and agricultural produce within and outside Dodoma City/Region. It has four main components, namely: (i) road construction and supervision; (ii) related development and empowerment of women; (iii) capacity building; and (iv) project management.
