Hence, five roads in 32,813 feet in total length were upgraded to 24 feet wide ones. In accord with the motto that all towns and villages must be modernized as quickly as possible, the PyinOoLwin Township Development Committee is carrying out the upgrade of urban roads, meeting the town’s characteristics under the instructions of superiors. From 2021 to 2026, the committee upgraded 16 asphalt roads in 12 miles and four furlongs in total length. In line with the guidance of the President, comprehensive urban development and expansion projects are being implemented to upgrade PyinOoLwin into an international-standard city, and residents of PyinOoLwin praise the efforts of the local authorities.
