Phase one of the proposed Yangon elevated highway will begin construction in July 2020, according to the Ministry of Construction (MOC).
The project is expected to be completed within three years. The ministry together with the Yangon regional government adopted the public-private partnership model for the Yangon Elevated Expressway (YEX) project. The proposal is a priority under the incumbent administration, which seeks to alleviate the severe traffic congestion in the commercial capital and improve connectivity for businesses and communities.
