India, Myanmar jointly inspecting bridges along trilateral trade route

The results of the assessment are expected late this month, said U Shwe Lay, deputy director general for the ministry’s Department of Bridges.

A total of 73 bridges are under review, some of which were built as far back as World War II.

“They are examining the bridges with the government’s permission,” U Shwe Lay told The Myanmar Times. “The assistant director and a deputy chief officer are included in the investigation team. The results will be revealed after June 30.”

The team is examining the structural integrity and design of the bridges, as well as any major or minor maintenance that might be required. (Courtesy of mmtimes.com)
