Japan is providing funding for infrastructure works in Tanzania. A grant from Japan will fund the construction of the Tazara flyover. Work on the project is expected to begin in July-December 2013. Meanwhile the Japanese Government is also funding a road project close to capital Dar-es-Salaam. This project comprises construction of a new dual-lane bridge in Gerezani as well as widening a 1.3km section of road that lies between the of Kilwa and Kamata intersections. The road will become a dual carriageway.
Industry sources suggest that this will be the first of a series of investments in African nations being made by the Japanese Government. Infrastructure in Africa holds considerable potential and the Japanese authorities are planning investments in a number of countries.
