Objective

The impact of the Project is a well-functioning integrated road transport system in Yunnan Province and the rest of the GMS.

The project expressway is an important section of the Chengdu–Kunming corridor, one of the eight western development corridors. The traffic volume on the project expressway is expected to grow from 8,150 passenger car units (pcu) per day in 2013 to 22,350 pcu per day in 2023 and 42,670 pcu per day in 2032.
