Monywa highway express terminal construction completed 90 per cent

The construction of the highway express bus terminal in Monywa Town, Sagaing Region, has finished 90 per cent now, said U Tun Tun, the executive officer of Monywa Township Municipal Team.
The highway terminal project was started in January 2018 and is now completed over 90 per cent.
“The highway bus terminal project was completed over 90 per cent. We have some more work to do to complete the project. Some of the workers do not come to work because of the current situation. Therefore, the project is expected to complete within this year,” said U Tun Tun.
The highway express bus terminal is being constructed in Monywa town. Upon completing the project, the highway buses currently running on the highway will be moved to the new bus terminal thoroughly.
“Monywa town is the capital of Sagaing Region. There are both road and sea routes along the upper Chindwin River. Monywa town is important in terms of the flow of goods. This is the reason why the town has developed, and the local people are prosperous in terms of business and economics. The bus terminal was also constructed in 1994. But the growth of the population with the bus lines being no longer enough for car parking. So, the buses are parked outside of the terminal, and it could be dangerous for the passengers. It could also cause traffic problems. So, the new bus terminals are being constructed to deprive Monywa of the traffic problems,” he added.
Upon completion of the highway bus terminal, the passengers will be able to travel more easily, and the flow of goods will be better, and there will be fewer traffic accidents.
The highway terminal project is being implemented by ULTRA Company limited.  There will be a total of 30 bus terminal gates, including four two-storeyed buildings of six rooms, one two-storeyed building of five rooms and one two-storeyed building. The project will also consist of 16 shops and one car workshop. — Lu Lay/GNLM
