In June 2013, the Exchange of Notes (E\/N) pertaining to a Japan\u2019s grant-in-aid cooperation was formalized. Having overcome various difficulties, the construction contract was concluded in October 2015 and the work was completed approximately three years afterwards, leading to the grand opening ceremony which was attended by Tanzania\u2019s President Magufuli and Japan\u2019s Ambassador Yoshidaw.<br \/>\r\nEJEC has successfully implemented many road projects in East Africa and was involved in this project from the preliminary study stage in terms of surveying and design. Our company was partly responsible for the construction supervision as well. This year, the Urban Transportation Master Plan in Dar es Salaam City was updated based on our proposal, and we hope to further contribute to infrastructure development in Tanzania in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; font-weight: 500;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<\/tr><\/tbody><caption style=\"text-align:left;\">&lt; Summary of Project &gt;<\/caption>\n<tbody><tr><td style=\"padding:0.4em;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\" style=\"padding:0.4em; vertical-align: top;\">Client<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em;\">Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em; vertical-align: top;\">Contractor<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em;\">Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co., Ltd.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em; vertical-align: top;\">Consultants(EJEC)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em;\">Joint venture between Oriental Consultants Global Co., Ltd. and Eight-Japan Engineering Consultants Inc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em; vertical-align: top;\">Construction period<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em;\">December 1, 2015 to October 31, 2018 (35 months)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em; vertical-align: top;\">Road length<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em;\">Nyerere Road: 1,263 m; Mandela Highway: 262 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em; vertical-align: top;\">Flyover structure<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em;\">[Foundations]  Cast-in-place reinforced concrete piles (f1.0 m)<br>\n[Substructure]  Reinforced concrete structure<br>\n[Superstructure] Flyover bridge 425 m x 2<br>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em; vertical-align: top;\">Main bridge<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em;\">3 span continuous PC box girder bridge (L = 155 m; W = 8.5 m) x 2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em; vertical-align: top;\">Approach bridge<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:0.4em;\">continuous PC hollow slab bridge (L = 150 m x 2; W = 120 m x 2)<br>\n[Approach road]   RC retaining wall and gravity retaining wall<br>\n[Incidental work]  Traffic signals, lighting system, road signs\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt; Summary of Project &gt; Client Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS) Contractor Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co., Ltd.
