Union Minister for Construction U Shwe Lay inspected road and bridge development works in Magway Region and Rakhine State on 7 May.
During the inspection tour, the
Union Minister inspected the paving of the Nay Pyi
Taw-Taungnyo-Myothit-Kanpya-Magway road by the Department of Roads, Nay Pyi
Taw. The 22-mile section of the road will be paved with 12 to 18 feet wide
concrete pavement.
The Union Minister and party
checked the road pavement along the way. They arrived at Thayet Khwar Chaung
bridge between the milestone 33/1 and 33/2.
They inspected the water flow
under the bridge and erosion of the Box Culvert approach road and ordered to
widen the existing bridge.
The construction of the
180-feet-long bridge between the milestone 62/7 and 63/0 was also inspected and
instructed necessary work.
Afterwards, the Union Minister
and party checked the construction work of the Minbu-An road.
During the road construction
officials meeting, he said among the three main gateways to Rakhine State-
Minbu-An-Sittway road; Pyay-Padaung-Taung-up road and
Ngathinechaung-Gwa-Thandwe road; the Minbu-An-Sittway road is one of the main
roads for mainland and state communication and freight flow. He added the need
to widen the road’s curves as it is a mountain road; to build directional
signs, guard post and guard rail; to record the data by year, and immediately
widen the road, which can cause danger.
The Union Minister reached the An
valley at the Rakhine State border and instructed them to pay attention to
standards and quality in upgrading roads.
In contrast, the Director of the
Directorate of Roads explained the completion of the concrete pavement to the
18-feet-wide road between 151 km and 153 km.
The Union Minister also made a
detailed inspection of the strength and construction of the Thayu (Pepadone)
bridge and ordered to conduct a feasibility study to construct another bridge
with a load capacity of 60 tonnes near the bridge. — MNA
