The
Ministry of Construction will open a reinforced concrete bridge on a road in
northern Rakhine State, linking its capital Sittway and Yangon, in December
this year.
In
a report presented to Chief Minister of Rakhine State U Nyi Pu and cabinet
members, during their inspection of the 360-feet-long Teinnyo bridge on Thari
creek near the border of Mrauk U and Kyauktaw townships, deputy director U
Myint Naing Oo of the ministry said that the facility will be commissioned in
December this year, after the project started in May 2017.
Built
under the union budget at a cost of Ks2,280 million, the 30-feet-wide bridge,
flanked by three-feet pedestrian lanes, can bear up to 60-tonnes of load. Its
clearance area is 86 feet.
As
the bridge lies on the Yangon-Sittway road, it will facilitate transport
between the two destinations, apart from ensuring convenience to people of the
townships, including Sittway, Ponnagyun, Kyauktaw, Mrauk U and Minbya in
northern Rakhine.
