According to Nitin Gadkari, the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway is 70% complete

According to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, almost 70% of the ambitious India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway’s building work has been finished.

A 1,400 km long motorway being built by India, Thailand, and Myanmar would connect the region to Southeast Asia by road and strengthen relations in commerce, business, health, education, and tourism between the three nations.

In response to a query on the project’s development, the minister of Road Transport & Highways said to PTI that “Roughly 70% of the work of the project is completed.”

The highway will go via Myanmar to link Moreh in Manipur, India, with Mae Sot in Thailand.

The trilateral highway’s completion and operationalization schedule were not specifically mentioned by the minister.

Project for the strategic highway has been postponed. Previously, the government wanted to open the route by December 2019.
