China Railway’s 15th Bureau Group is currently upgrading a 53.2-kilometer road in Lindi, Tanzania.

The project, located in the Mchinga District of Lindi Region, includes roadbed, pavement, culverts and auxiliary works. Surface treatment and ancillary protective works are now also underway. The project has provided 174 jobs for local workers, trained a significant number of skilled technicians and fulfilled social responsibilities by repairing seven roads during the rainy season to meet the needs of local residents in the areas of travel and transportation.

Once complete, the project will significantly enhance the existing road's transport capacity, boost agricultural, mining and livestock potential along the route and promote regional economic growth.
