Chinese Companies Build Longest Bridge in East Africa; Tanzania Pays the Bill

 The Nanyang Technological University posted on 29 May 2025 an article titled "China Completes the Construction of the Longest  Bridge in East Africa."

Two Chinese construction companies have completed the 3.2 kilometer dual highway spanning southern Lake Victoria.  The Tanzanian government funded the $220 million project.  China includes the project as part of its Belt and Road Initiative, but it was a commercial deal, not an aid project.
