2-226 2.3.2 Road Network (1) Road Network in the Greater Mekong The Project for the Strategic Urban Development Plan of the Greater Yangon Final Report I 2.3.2 Road Network (1) Road Network in the Greater Mekong Subregion and Myanmar 1) Asian Highway in Myanmar and Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Greater Yangon is connected with its neighboring GMS countries through the Asian Highways (AH), as shown in Figure 2.3.23. The four routes crossing the national border are designated as parts of the Asian Highway in Myanmar. These four routes also partly overlap with the three economic corridors in GMS, namely, the Western Economic Corridor (AH-1) to Kun Ming in China, the East-West Economic Corridor to Da Nang in Vietnam, and the Southern Economic Corridor to Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City.

The sections with two or more lanes of paved road are only 49% of the total, and the sections with one lane of paved or unpaved (gravel/earth) road are 51% (see Table 2.3.14). In addition, almost all sections of main roads paved with asphalt have deteriorated due to the passing of heavy trucks. Therefore, it is necessary to expand one-lane sections, to pave the gravel sections, and to carry out maintenance works of paved roads.

The road lengths by surface type are as shown in Table 2.3.15 below. More than 50% of the roads are still unpaved. Figure 2.3.24 shows the road network in the entire country.

It has two lanes each for one direction (total of four lanes), and the speed limit is at 100 km/h. At present, heavy trucks are not allowed to use this expressway. 3) Linkage Between the Nationwide Road Network and Greater Yangon The gateways to the nationwide road network from Greater Yangon are shown in Figure 2.3.25. The main roads located at the gateways are as follows: i) Yangon-Mandalay Expressway (to Nay Pyi Taw and Mandalay) ii) Union Highway No. 1 and No. 2 (to Nay Pyi Taw and Mandalay) iii) Main Road No. 3 (to Nay Pyi Taw and Mandalay via Union Highway No. 1) NIPPON KOEI CO., LTD., NJS CONSULTANTS CO., LTD.

(2) Road Network in Greater Yangon Roads are the most dominant mode of urban transportation in Yangon City. Roads cover 95% of all inland passenger traffic (refer to Figure 2.3.25 above). The history of the road network in Yangon City is intertwined with the history of the city itself and its port activities. There was an old road network surrounding Shwe Dagon Pagoda which was rebuilt in 1572 and Sule Pagoda. The town was located to the east of Sule Pagoda. The Bago River was silting up off Thanlyin NIPPON KOEI CO., LTD., NJS CONSULTANTS CO., LTD. YACHIYO ENGINEERING CO., LTD., INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CENTER OF JAPAN, ASIA AIR SURVEY CO., LTD., and ALMEC CORPORATION 2-229 The Project for the Strategic Urban Development Plan of the Greater Yangon Final Report I and sea vessels had difficulty in navigating the reaches opposite the town. Thus, Dagon (renamed to “Yangon” in 1775) became the main port. After the war with the British in 1852, Dr. William Montgomery, Superintendent Surgeon of the British Troops, made a new city plan with grid-patterned streets based on a road which ran along the port (currently called “Strand Road”). Then, Lieutenant A. Fraser had been assigned the design task based on Dr. Montgomery’s plan. The main roads were given names from eminent personnel and the minor roads were numbered. The main roads running parallel from west to east include Strand Road, Merchant Road, Dalhousie (Maha Bandoola) Road, Fraser (Anawrahta) Road, and Montgomery (Bogyoke Aung San) Road. World War II left great damage to Yangon City, particularly to the road network and its drainage system, and this led to a massive influx of refugees into the city. These people squatted on public land such as on roads and sidewalks. In order to accommodate the massive population, Yangon City was extended to the west by three 100-feet roads, three 50-feet roads and twenty-two 30-feet roads, and to the east by three 50-feet roads and twenty-two 30-feet roads. The suburbs of Kyimyindaing, Ahlone, Pazundaung, Yegyaw, Myaynigone, Kamayut were incorporated into the town and Voyle Road (U Wisara Road) was added as another northward road to Prome Road (Pyay Road). 1) Current Road Network Hierarchy Roads are classified into some types by MOC, as shown in Table 2.3.16. Table 2.3.16: Road Classification Road Functions and Design ROW Cross Section Speed Classification Features (m) Elements (km/h) Provide metropolitan and city continuity and unity. Limited access: some 3.6 m per lane, 2.4-3.0 Expressways channelized grade crossing 45-90 m shoulders, 2.4-7.2 m 80 and signal at major median strip intersection. Parking prohibited.
