The Project (i) conforms to the national development policies and strategies for Western Region, thus leading to attaining great multi-support from central government and local governments. It will (ii) enhance the PRC national highway system to speed up the provincial transportation development so that the gap of provincial economy between Central Region and Western Region can be narrowed. Furthermore, it will (iii) provide a fast and convenient passageway for Western Region such as Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province and Sichuan Province to access to the seaports in Guangxi, Hongkong, Macao and some wealthy area in Guangdong Province; therefore, tourism and economic development in southwest area will be boosted quickly.
