This project is part of this wider program and involves rehabilitation of both the Northern and Southern Lines, 335 km and 254 km in length respectively, together with reconstruction of a 48-km stretch linking the Northern Line to the Thai border. This was completely destroyed during the war and its absence remains a serious hindrance to cross-border trade and sub-regional integration. At completion, the project will provide an efficient and cost-effective travel alternative, boost the country’s nascent export industry and bring many indirect social benefits to the poor.
