In November 2008 the bridge was already finished and road newly surfaced/being surfaced (besides the part from Ikwiriri to Nangurukur, which indeed, after heavy rains can be impassable for a while).
The whole Mtwara - Dar journey takes 10 hours only by bus. In good weather, if there is no traffic jam in Dar, you can go now from Dar to Mtwara in c.a. 8 hours (this is the reason also, that all passenger ferries between the two were suspended).
