YANGON, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) — Myanmar’s Department of Civil Aviation is inviting tender from home and abroad for building an overbridge highway to link downtown Yangon with the Hanthawaddy International Airport under construction in Bago region, the local Voice daily reported Tuesday.
The Hanthawaddy international airport will be the fourth international airport in the country and also the largest of its kind in Myanmar.
The project, introduced to avoid traffic jam en route to the airport, will start from the point of Pazuntaung township and reach the airport through Parami road, No. 3 Highway and then Taukkyan township.
The bridge project is to be completed in the same year of 2020 when the new Hanthawaddy international airport is to be put into service.
By then, all international airlines will be moved to the new international airport from the current Yangon International Airport, the report said. Enditem
