Today, trains are in service, passengers are moving, freight is shifting to rail, and investor confidence has followed. @YapiMerkezi Construction is delivering the Dar es Salaam to Isaka corridor, with the first two lots already in commercial operation and construction continuing westward through Makutupora, Itigi, Tabora and Isaka. The numbers are significant: ⚫ 1,255 km corridor ⚫ Approximately 6 million passengers carried ⚫ Travel time cut from 12 hours by road to around 3.5 hours by rail ⚫ More than 30,000 direct jobs created ⚫ Over 2,500 local suppliers and subcontractors engaged ⚫ USD 2.33 billion financing package secured in April 2026 With the Dar es Salaam port-link completed and container trains now operating, the SGR is moving from a national infrastructure project to a regional logistics platform.
