*[[Mtwara Region]]: Paved roads link Mtwara and [[Masasi]] and from there almost to [[Nangoma]]. An unpaved road then leads to [[Mtambaswala]] and the modern [[Unity Bridge]] on the [[Mozambique]] border.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://tanroads.org/regional%20roads/Mtwara%20Roads%20Network.pdf| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140809062815/http://tanroads.org/regional%20roads/Mtwara%20Roads%20Network.pdf| url-status = usurped| archive-date = August 9, 2014| title = Mtwara Roads Network, TANROADS}}</ref> The [[African Development Bank]] in April 2012 approved a loan to Tanzania to pave this road,<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.afdb.org/en/news-and-events/article/afdb-approves-usd-251-million-funding-for-roads-in-tanzania-and-sierra-leone-9019| title = "AfDB Approves USD 251 Million Funding for Roads in Tanzania and Sierra Leone", African Development Bank Group, 5 April 2012}}</ref> followed in April 2013 with an additional loan of 7.659 billion yen (US$77.9 million) from Japan.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.tz.emb-japan.go.jp/e_event/4_8.htm| title = "Exchange of notes related for 'The Road Sector Support Project II'", Embassy of Japan in Tanzania, 8 April 2013}}</ref>
* Western regions are the most poorly served, with no paved highways except locally in [[Kigoma]] and [[Ujiji]]. Only one dirt road runs down the western side of the country, it is just a track between [[Kasulu]] and [[Sumbawanga]] and prone to flooding south of [[Mpanda]]. Between [[Tunduma]] in the south-west and Nyakanyazi junction near [[Kibondo]] in the north-west, a distance of nearly 1000&nbsp;km, there are no highways in the centre of the country.
