The Maintenance Period Of the Bayintnaung Bridge - 1 extension

 The Ministry of Construction issues a statement that although the upgrade project period for the Bayintnaung Bridge-1 is set for one month, it has not finished and so the maintenance period of the Bayintnaung Bridge-1 has been extended. Although the Bayintnaung Bridge-1 has be closed for one month and the upgrade project is set to initially begin from 5 October to 4 November, it is just 75% complete.

Therefore vehicles will be allowed to cross it only at the end of November.

It is now replacing the bearings with the new ones on the supports of the Bayintnaung Bridge-1 on Hlaing river which connects Mayangone township to Hlaing township.

However replacing bearings and expansion joints is only 75% complete and therefore the permission to cross the bridge has been suspended for a while.
