Construction

The project was designed by Y&P Architects. In 2016, it was reported that the new ubungo bus terminal will get a facelift of 490m/ rehabilitation. In 2018, the City council of Dar es Salaam were said to be in the process of securing a good contractor who will complete the project in time. The project preparations had taken way too long because of the procedures which they had to follow, compensating the residents who were affected by the project. However the foundation stone will be laid soon to mark way for the construction work. The project has cost the government an amount of $22m which is approximately Sh50.9 billion. The residents who were affected by the project have been paid a compensation of Sh8.5 billion by the government. The project kicked off in January 2019 by the Chinese contractor of Hainan international limited and is set for completion by the end of 2020. In June 2020, the project had reached 70 percent and few months later on November 25, the bus had started its operational trial .
