Route
[edit]Mwanza
[edit]Between Kigongo and Busisi, the trunk road traverses over the Mwanza gulf. As part of the trunk road there are several scheduled ferries between the two cities. There are about 1,600 vehicles crossing the channel by ferry per day, spending 35 minutes per crossing. Currently under construction is the Kigongo–Busisi Bridge (Magufuli Bridge), once complete will connect both sides by road and expand the weight limit of this part of the route.[3]
