Opportunity in the Construction of Ayeyarwady Coastal Expressway in Myanmar
According to Myanmar’s Ministry of Construction, the implementation of the Ayeyarwady Coastal Region Development Project, an expressway connecting Ayeyarwady region and Rakhine State listed under the Myanmar Project Bank, is set to begin from the fiscal year of 2020. The project is estimated to cost USD 94 million and is expected to complete between the fiscal year of 2023 to 2024.
Opportunity
The project will involve construction of a 274 kilometers (km) coastal road from Nga Yoke Kaung township, Pathein District in Ayeyarwady region to Gwa township in Rakhine State. In line with the National League for Democracy government’s plan, the project is set to develop logistic infrastructure and raise productivity in the agriculture and aquaculture sectors which are the main revenue generators for Ayeyarwady and Rakhine regions, as stated by mmtimes.com.
The Way Forward
