The President of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar U Min Aung Hlaing has directed that bypasses be systematically constructed during the development of the Nay Pyi Taw Archway to prevent disruption to traffic, while also calling for the structure to be built in a grand and systematic manner featuring Myanmar architectural designs.
The President gave guidance yesterday in response to briefings by Union Minister for Construction U Myo Thant during a visit to the city entryway construction site, which is being developed as an iconic landmark at the city entrance to extend an auspicious welcome to visitors entering the capital, elevate the country’s urban prestige and standards, and preserve and showcase Myanmar’s culture and history.
He further instructed that the road layout include as few sharp turns as possible, that the structure be earthquake-resistant, durable, beautiful, and orderly, and that public recreation areas, parking facilities, and pedestrian underpasses be systematically incorporated as necessary.
The President toured and inspected the ongoing work at the construction site and provided necessary guidance following briefings by responsible officials.
The Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory is being comprehensively developed into a green city, a clean city, and a technology-based smart city as part of its urban development, according to reports.
Also accompanying the tour were Vice-Presidents U Nyo Saw and Nan Ni Ni Aye, as well as responsible officials.
