a valuable contribution to Tanzania's future

For the first time in over 50 years, Tanzania's transnational railway is being modernised, and COWI is responsible for the design of a 207 km section running from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro.

The modernisation is a valuable contribution to Tanzania's future development to meet an increasing demand for the transportation of passengers and improve the domestic supply network.

COWI has extensive experience of delivering services in Tanzania, including the design of more than 800 km railways for the Tanzanian Railway Authorities.
