Tracking his plan to decongest Dar es Salaam City, President John Magufuli yesterday inspected the ongoing construction of Ubungo flyover in Dar es Salaam, expressing his satisfaction with the pace.
Other projects in progress include the second phase of Dar es Salaam Rapid Transit (Dart), which involves Kilwa Road, Mbagala depot, terminals and feeder roads and the construction of the 258.3bn/- New Selander Bridge and connecting roads which is expected to reduce traffic jams significantly, save time and increase government revenues.
Speaking on behalf of other political leaders, Ubungo District CCM Youth Wing Chairman Mr Edwin Mbena commended Dr Magufuli for a well done job in implementing the Party's election manifesto.
He said the construction of the flyover and other major projects had uplifted the country's status and the Ubungo flyover will be beneficial to all city residents.
Dr Magufuli, however, said his government was spending more than 240bn/- for the construction of Ubungo Flyover and eight lanes Kimara - Kibaha section of Morogo Road.
