Toll Roads in Tanzania
Currently, Tanzania has one operational toll road: the Nyerere Bridge, managed through the Kigamboni Toll Plaza. This bridge connects the Kigamboni area to the rest of Dar es Salaam, providing a crucial link for commuters and transporters. The Tanzanian government plans to introduce tolls on more major roads, including the Dar es Salaam-Morogoro Road, Dar es Salaam-Chalinze Road, and Arusha-Namanga Road, to improve infrastructure and ease congestion.
For calculating tolls and fuel costs on major highways in Tanzania, refer to the Tanzania Toll Calculator.
How to pay tolls in Tanzania?
When using the Nyerere Bridge (Kigamboni Bridge) in Dar es Salaam, there are two primary methods for toll payment:-
Cash Payment: Users pay cash at toll booths upon crossing the bridge. This traditional method may experience queues during peak hours but is suitable for infrequent users.
-
Bundle Subscription: Users can pay for multiple trips in advance by purchasing daily, weekly, or monthly bundles. This method is cost-effective for frequent users and reduces cash transactions.

Fleet companies and other transport businesses can leverage toll intelligence by integrating with the TollGuru Toll API for pre-trip calculation and post-trip reconciliation.

After this period, ownership will transfer to the Government of Tanzania. For more details, visit the NSSF Official website.
