New transport facilities designed for regional development

In the past, national races could not deal with each other as much as it should due to poor transport as there are a lot of basins, heights and mountain ranges in the nation.
Now, the nation has seen a large number of new roads and bridges intended to overcome natural barriers to transport as a result of onerous efforts the government and the people have exerted in collaboration. Moreover, there has been smooth transport between one region and another along with commercial growth.
Ayeyawady Division has the potential for economic development as it is blessed with favourable conditions to run agricultural farms,fisheries and salt farms on a large scale. In the past, it faced a variety of challenges in the transport
sector due to the fact that it is a region of rivers and creeks. Unlike previously, local people of the region have been enjoying fruitful results of smooth transport thanks to new roads and river and creek-crossing bridges emerging one after another.
Thongwachaung Bridge (Kyondainggyi) on Pantanaw-Einme Road in Pantanaw Township was put into commission on 1 January. It is the 217th bridge of above 180 feet long in the nation,and the 44th one in Ayeyawady Division.
The 270 feet long reinforced concrete facility can withstand 60 tons of loads. It will effectively help regenerate the economic, education, health and social sectors of local people of the villages of Myaungmya and Einme townships.
In addition, the government is constructing more and more new roads to form a network of transport facilities in the division. It is, therefore,believed that the region will be on the verge of greater commercial development with a swift commodity flow.
