NEW DELHI: Around 70 per cent construction work on the ambitious India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway has been completed, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said.
India, Thailand and Myanmar are working on about 1,400-km-long highway that would link the country with Southeast Asia by land and give a boost to trade, business, health, education and tourism ties among the three countries.
“Around 70 per cent work of the project is completed,” the minister of Road Transport & Highways told PTI in reply to a question on the progress of the project.
The highway will connect Moreh in Manipur, India with Mae Sot in Thailand via Myanmar.
