In Summary
- Bad weather has affected the laying of the tracks on concrete sleepers along the line and paralysed drilling works.
- The rains have also paralysed drilling works at a hill where a tunnel needs to pass through as well as building of bridges.
- The
SGR will cover 1,457kms from Dar es Salaam to the shores of Lake
Victoria, and will cost $7.5 billion over the next five years.
Tanzania is unlikely to meet the November deadline for the first phase of the 300km-long $1.9
