The Arusha-Holili/Taveta-Voi Road is one of the
transport corridors of the EAC region meant to reduce the cost of doing
business, increase competitiveness of the region on the global market and at
the same time promote regional integration. The project road links the Northern
Corridor to the Central Corridor across the common border of Tanzania and Kenya
(Holili/Taveta) through Arusha, Minjingu andBabati toSingida and Dodoma. The corridor at completion will link the port
of Mombasa to northern and north-western Tanzania and the landlocked countries
to the west, namely, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC and Uganda and provide an alternative
route to the sea.
The project comprises: (a) civil works for:
(i) the construction of the Arusha-Bypass (42.4km) and dualling the Sakina-Tengeru section (14.1km)
and construction of two roadside amenities at Tengeru, one on either side of
the dual carriageway in Tanzania; (ii) upgrading of the Taveta-Mwatate (89km);
and construction of the Taveta Bypass (12km) and two roadside amenities one
each at Bura and Maktau along the Mwatate-Taveta road in Kenya; (b) consulting
services for: (i) supervision of the civil works; (ii) road safety; (iii)
sensitization and mitigation measures for HIV/AIDS, STI, TB and gender; (iv)
baseline data collection and monitoring of ESMP implementation; and (v)
technical and financial audits; (c) technical assistance for road safety in
Kenya; (d) trade facilitation program; and (d) compensation and resettlement.
The project in Tanzania will de-congest the
Arusha City by; (i) increasing the capacity of the Arusha-Tengeru section
through dualling; and (ii) diverting long distance traffic especially heavy
vehicles from the city center to the bypass.
