Better transport for progress of local trading

The government has been building infrastructures in transport and communications, economic, education and health sectors in states and divisions including border areas for equitable development. Ensuring secure and smooth transport contributes towards the speedy flow of
commodities and development of trading in the respective regions. That is why the government is building a road and bridge network nationwide. Despite heights and gorges in Shan State, new motor roads and railroads are being built overcoming all difficulties. At the same time airports, runways and bridges across the rivers are being upgraded for better transport in the region.
The 600-foot Shweli Bridge (Namhkam) built on Mandalay-Lashio-Namhkam- Bhamo Road was inaugurated in Namhkam Township, Shan State (North) last month. It is a reinforced concrete Bailey Bridge, the 222nd one which is 180 feet and above built by the Ministry of Construction. It is also the 15th such facility in Shan State. With the completion of the bridge,
transport of Mandalay-Lashio-Namhkam- Bhamo Road will become smooth and secure and local products can be transported easily and speedily. Better transport means development of trade in the respective regions. Inauguration of a lot of roads and bridges in the country will bring about improvement of economic, education, health and social aspectsof local people.
