History

Construction of the T15 double carriage way between Arusha and Tengeru, Tanzania began in July 2013. The contractor is Hanil-Jiangsu JV, a South Korean construction company, The Cheil Engineering Company, also from South Korea, is the consulting engineer. Phase 2 of the project includes the upgrade to double carriage way of the road between Tengeru and Usa River, Tanzania. This work should be completed by December 2018.[5] Reconstructing the two-lane road connecting Usa River, Moshi, and Holili was part of Phase 2 originally.[5] A lack of funds, however, means that the reconstruction "is not in the immediate implementation plan" except that realigning the approaches to the Kikafu River bridge is still planned.[6] The design for a replacement bridge has been completed.[6]
