New Delhi, 03rd July 2023: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari today confirmed that around 70% of the construction work on the ambitious India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway had been completed.
India, Thailand, and Myanmar are constructing a 1,400-kilometer-long motorway connecting the country to Southeast Asia by land and strengthening commerce, business, health, education, and tourism relations between the three countries.
“Around 70% of the project’s work has been completed,” the minister of Road Transport and Highways told PTI in response to a question about the project’s status.
Moreh in Manipur, India, would be linked to Mae Sot in Thailand via Myanmar via the highway. The minister did not specify a timetable for the trilateral highway’s completion and operationalization.
The strategic highway project is being postponed. Previously, the government planned to open the route in December 2019.
