The project will (i) construct a new four-lane expressway between Bago (Bago region) and Kyaikto (Mon state) of about 64 kilometers along the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) East–West Economic Corridor (EWEC); (ii) build the government’s capacity to develop and manage expressways that meet international standards; and (iii) ensure road safety in the Bago–Kyaikto corridor. The project will benefit poor, rural residents in the Bago–Kyaikto corridor by providing climate-resilient, safe, and more efficient connectivity between Bago and Kyaikto, and to other destinations in the EWEC.
