The Japanese Ambassador to Tanzania, Masaki Okada, emphasized the importance of the expansion of the Bagamayo road for reducing traffic congestion and stimulating economic activity in a recent statement.

The Bagamayo road project is being constructed by the Konoike Company at a cost of 91bn/- and is approximately 13 kilometres.
