Nyanza Lac-Mugina (RN3) Road

The road is very important for trade, transport and tourism for the East African region. It is located along the Lake Tanganyika. The road is an alternative way toward Dar Es Salaam Port through Kasulu or Kigoma. The works planned are rehabilitation and widening from 6m to 7m. By upgrading of this road, it will be easier for users to reach Kigoma and Dar Es Salaam(TZ), Rumonge and Bujumbura (BDI), Uvira and Goma (DRC), Cyangugu and Gisenyi (RW). Some sections have been updated, studies are going on for others.
