Series of road and overpass projects for Myanmar

Two key projects will help boost road transportation in Myanmar. In Yangon, the regional government is to fund construction of an overpass located at Tamwe Junction. The move comes after the Japanese government declined to fund the works due to the high cost, expected to be in excess of US$120 million.

The Yangon regional government will fund the work with its budget of $20.66 million.
