The Minister of Works,  Abdallah Ulega, has conducted an official visit to inspect the construction of the 7-kilometer Kimara - Bonyokwa - Kinyerezi road in Dar es Salaam, emphasizing the urgency of expediting the construction of this strategic infrastructure project.

During the visit, Minister Ulega instructed the contractor, the locally-owned Nyanza Road Works company, to ensure round-the-clock work to complete the project swiftly and with the required quality.

“The work has officially commenced, and residents will soon witness progress in building this vital road. The contractor must ensure an adequate workforce is in place, with unskilled labor sourced from nearby communities, including Bonyokwa, as part of giving back to the community,” stated Minister Ulega.

Segerea MP Bonnah Kamoli supported the directive, emphasizing that temporary jobs created during the construction present opportunities for residents in Bonyokwa, Kinyerezi, Kimara, and surrounding areas.

This crucial road is expected to serve as a major link between the Ubungo and Segerea constituencies, improving transport services and stimulating economic growth in the region.

Minister Ulega assured that the government would oversee the project diligently while prioritizing timely payments to contractors.

“Nyanza Road Works has demonstrated a strong track record. We trust you and expect exceptional work on this project,” he added.

Residents living along the road corridor, including Kimara, Bonyokwa, and Kinyerezi, are hopeful that the project will address infrastructure and transportation challenges while boosting the local economy.

The road construction will include a 25-meter bridge, seven small culverts, and the installation of street lighting as part of the project requirements.
