Tanzania and Japan on Tuesday signed an agreement of more than $32 million to finance a flyover project in Dar es Salaam, the commercial capital of the East African country.

The two countries sealed the grant agreement of 52.5 billion Tanzanian shillings ($32.8 million) on the project in Dodoma, where Japanese Ambassador to Tanzania Masaki Okada said the initiative is meant to de-congest Dar es Salaam.

The project to be completed by 2017 is expected to easy movement of goods from the Dar es Salaam Port to neighboring land- locked countries.
