Jinghong-Daluo Expressway

Objective

The construction of a new road will improve transport connectivity among the PRC, Myanmar, and Thailand; and will boost the development of the economy, trade, tourism, etc. Meanwhile, the completed corridor will serve as a strong complement to the Kunming-Bangkok Highway, and will provide more options for the movement of people and cargo within the region.

Description

The project is an important part of the north-south corridor (Kunming-Daluo-Tachilek-Chiang Rai), and has already been incorporated into the PRC-s Planning for the National Expressway Network (G8512), including a total length of 108.5km; 4 lanes; and the border control point at Menghai, the PRC. The existing road along the corridor links Daluo, the PRC; northern Myanmar; Tachilek, Myanmar; and Chiang Rai, Thailand. However, the road is in poor condition and in need of a renovation.
