Officials from the Department of Rural Development (DRD) in Magway Township conducted a field inspection yesterday morning of the ongoing laterite road construction for the South Thamantaw Village farm access road. The project is being implemented during the 2026-2027 financial year with Union Government funding of K 239.4 million to enable local agricultural products to be transported throughout the year at lower transport costs.
During the inspection, officials inspected the construction of the 7.3-furlong-long and 12-foot-wide production road, including earthworks, laterite surfacing, the construction of one concrete cassway, and two slab culverts.
The departmental officials instructed the engineer from Myinzu Aung Construction Company to ensure that the road and all related structures are completed within the specified timeframe in full compliance with the required technical standards.
The rural production road and related structures have been implemented since 6 June 2026. The project has now reached approximately 20 per cent completion.— Ah Htwe (DRD)
