The Ministry of Cooperatives and Rural Development is set to invest K19 billion in the 2025-2026 financial year to construct 116 miles of production roads and 305 bridges across 115 villages, according to the Rural Development Department.
Despite the enormous demand for infrastructure, an official pointed out that projects need to be in line with the yearly budget and goals.They will be implemented in all regions and states, except Kachin, Kayah, Chin, Rakhine, and northern Shan. Tenders for the construction works are currently being invited. In the previous financial year, 203 miles and five furlongs of roads and bridges were constructed with K21.36 billion in funding.
Additionally, the Mandalay earthquake recently damaged five production and village roads and six bridges across three regions and states. As part of the government’s continuing infrastructure improvement initiatives, full repairs are anticipated to be finished within the current fiscal year. Source: The Global New Light of Myanmar
