📋 Tender Overview
Project ID: P176682
Region: Africa east
Country: Tanzania
Development Objective :
to improve safety and operational efficiency of railway for all users along the selected corridor in Tanzania.
The scheme aims to improve safety, climate resilience and operational efficiency along segments of Tanzania's metre-gauge railway (MGR) network, which connects the Port of Dar Es Salaam to Kigoma in the west and Mwanza in the north.
Specifically, TIRP-2 will strengthen the Dar es Salaam-Tabora section, including the refurbishment of 257.4km of track and bridges, as well as reinforcing safety infrastructure.
The project will also rehabilitate the 130km Tabora-Isaka section, which is currently the weakest link for container block train operations. It will be upgraded to support an increased axle load capacity between Dar es Salaam port and the Isaka railway terminal.
The 84km flood-prone Kilosa-Gulwe-Igandu section will also be upgraded. Studies will be conducted for the design of flood control systems along the catchment area, including the rehabilitation and restoration of six flood control reservoirs at the Kinyasungwe catchment area.
