The Yangon Region government office official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the government is in talks with Japan about funding options for the bridge but they remain at an early stage.
He said the government had received a “verbal promise” from a Japanese government official “who has supported Myanmar before”.
“But we’re not sure whether it will be built,” he said. “We have just discussed it informally with our friend [in the Japanese government], who said they would fund it.
“We have reported our proposal to the national government and they have approved it. So we have to send an official letter [to the Japanese side] and see how they respond.”
The bridge is expected to begin near Mahar Myaing Medical Centre on Pyay Road on the north side of the junction and continue past the traffic light at the junction with Shin Saw Pu Road.
