Rwanda, Burundi, and parts of eastern Zaire are now dependent on two transportation routes to the Indian Ocean--a 'northern' route thrpugh Uganda and Kenya to the port of Mombasa, and a 'southern' route across Lake Tanganyika and Tanzania to the port of Dar es Salaam. These routes have become unsatisfactory due to considerable difficulties and delays caused by deteriorating roads, slow rail and port services, and the unstable political situation in Uganda. An alternative 'middle' route which crosses Tanzania by road from Rusomo to Isaka and then by rail to Dares Salaam has thus been proposed. This report examines the economic and technical feasibility of this 'middle' route with oarticular emphasis on the Bujinbe to Isaka segment of the oroposed Rusomo to Isaka road.
