2 10. Proposed Projects for Key Trnsport Linkges The projects for trnsport infrstructure re identified for ll the modes of trnsporttion viz. rods, ril, ir, ports nd logistics infrstructure bsed on the developmentl strtegies presented erlier Rod Linkges In order to provide better service levels in terms of higher speeds, svings in vehicle operting costs nd trvel time, comprehensive rod corridor improvement pln is being envisged involving the following projects: Tble 4: Key Projects for Development/Improvement of Rod Linkges S. No. Project Description Length (Km) 1 Corridor Upgrdtion b c Upgrdtion (or new construction) of rod link between Poipet nd Bvet from 2- lne to 4-lne s ccess controlled expresswy (Cmbodi) Upgrdtion of rod link between Moc Bi nd Vung Tu from 4-lne to 6-lne s ccess controlled expresswy (Vietnm) Upgrdtion of rod link between Phnom Penh nd Sihnoukville port from 2- lne to 4-lne s ccess controlled expresswy (Cmbodi) New Rod Links Construction of bypsses with ccess control round Phnom Penh City (Cmbodi) 44 b Construction of bypsses with ccess control round Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnm) 56 c d Development of rod links from Dwei port to Bong Tee (Thilnd border) nd rod from Bong Tee to Knchnburi in Thilnd s 4-lne ccess controlled expresswys Construction of 4 lne ccess controlled expresswy from Go Du H to Vung Tu trnsshipment Port Development/Upgrdtion of Service Links from Growth Poles/Nodes b Upgrdtion of Rod Link connecting Siem Rep with Bttmbng vi Sisophon to 4-lne configurtion (Cmbodi) Upgrdtion of rod link between Cn Tho nd Ho Chi Minh City from 4-lne to 6-lne s ccess controlled expresswy (Vietnm) Development of connectivity to Rurl Ares Upgrdtion of rod between Chmkr Lung to Koh Kong from 2- lne to 4- lne s ccess controlled expresswy 140 b Development of importnt Rurl Rods in Cmbodi nd Vietnm 4,000 Note: The entire corridor will lso hve user fcilities consisting of petrol bunks, resturnts nd rest rooms, truck prking nd repiring fcilities, etc. t every 50 km intervl. 33

3 10.2 Rilwy Linkges Given the low ril trffic volume t present, it is estimted tht cross-border freight volume will not increse significntly in initil yers of MIEC to mke huge investments in development of multi country ril network. It is therefore proposed tht upgrding the key domestic ril networks nd enbling multi-modl trnsporttion within the respective countries should be prioritized. In lter phses, investments in ril network would be mde to enble cross-border freight movement through integrted ril network. The following projects re suggested for development/improvement for rilwy network: Tble 5: Key Projects for Development/Improvement of Rilwy Linkges Strtegy Build or upgrde ril network t key high volume routes Projects Upgrdtion nd double-trcking of Lem Chbng- Bngkok (ICD Lt Krbng) ril link 47 Construction of Ho Chi Minh City-Vung Tu (Ci Mep-Thi Vi Ports) ril link Rehbilittion of ril link from Sihnoukville Port to Phnom Penh (Cmbodi) 48 Construction of missing link from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City Estblishment of continuous end-to-end ril links in MIEC supported by spur ril lines Construction of missing link between Nm Tok (Thilnd) nd Dwei (Mynmr) Construction of missing link from Poipet to Sisophon (Cmbodi) Upgrdtion of ril trcks to 20 tonne xle lod Rehbilittion of ril link from Sisphon to Phnom Penh (Cmbodi) Estblishment of ril trnsshipment terminl/yrd s prt of multi-modl logistics prk t border crossings Ports The ports in MIEC will witness significnt increse in trffic due to development of corridor nd incresed trde in MIEC with rest of the world. The upcoming/plnned port cpcities in MIEC region t present would not be ble to cter to dditionl trffic demnd generted from development of MIEC nd most of the mjor ports would require cpcity ugmenttion. Prticulrly, in respect of Indi-Mekong trde, one of the nticipted benefits under the proposed port pln is tht development of Dwei Port will reduce the trvel distnce nd time for freight between Indi nd Mekong. This will increse the competiveness of the products from Mekong countries nd spur their trde with rest of the world. Ports t Vung Tu nd Dwei hve potentil to become the gtewy ports for the region. With the development of these gtewy ports, the interntionl crgo from western prt of world bound for MIEC 47 Note: Under implementtion nd expected to be completed by Note: Alredy under implementtion under ssistnce from ADB nd expected to be completed by Note: This yrd will hve ril-sidings, mrshlling nd shunting yrd long with single 'Joint customs-immigrtionqurntine (CIQ) sttion wherein crgo nd pssenger cn be trnsferred between countries 34

4 countries cn be trnsshipped from Colombo, Vllrpdm or Vizhinjm to Dwei nd crgo coming from est cn be trnsshipped through Vung Tu. It is expected to bring in efficiency in se trnsport becuse it would enble shipping lines to void hevily congested Mlcc strit which lso fces thret of pircy. It is therefore suggested tht following projects be undertken: Tble 6: Proposed Key Port Projects Strtegy Expnsion of ports cpcity to meet the growing trffic demnd Development of ports to void congestion t Mlcc Strit Project Description Expnsion of Lem Chbng (Thilnd) Expnsion of Sihnoukville (Cmbodi) Expnsion of Ci Mep-Thi Vi Port (Vietnm) Development of Greenfield port t Dwei (Mynmr) Development of Trnsshipment Port t Vung Tu-B Ri province (Vietnm) Proposed Cpcity (beyond 2015) 1.5 million TEU 0.3 million TEU 6 million TEU 1 million TEU 1 million TEU Mp 10: Se ports in MIEC nd Se routes in South-Est Asi Region 35

5 10.4 Airports Air trnsporttion infrstructure hs recently been upgrded in Thilnd, Cmbodi, Vietnm nd new plns hve been prepred or under implementtion to further improve the ir infrstructure. The present projects nd proposed expnsion plns of existing irports by countries shll be dequte to meet both pssenger nd freight requirements of MIEC during the envisged horizon period of this concept pln. However, there is need to upgrde some key irports in MIEC to boost the tourism potentil of key tourism zone or nodes. There is lso need to focus of providing dequte infrstructure t irports to meet the growing demnd for perishble crgo. Thus the following projects re proposed for irports in individul countries long with integrtion of existing plns s prt of ir trnsport strtegy 50 for MIEC. Tble 7: Key Airport Projects for MIEC Project Description Expnsion of Suvrnbhumi Airport in Thilnd Expnsion of Siem Rep Airport in Cmbodi Expnsion of Phnom Penh Airport in Cmbodi Construction of New Airport in HCM City in Vietnm Upgrdtion/ Expnsion of Cn Tho Airport in Vietnm Upgrdtion of Dwei Airport in Mynmr Upgrdtion of Sihnoukville Airport in Cmbodi Upgrdtion of Dedicted Crgo fcility for Perishble Crgo t Cn Tho Airport in Vietnm Sttus Alredy plnned Alredy plnned Alredy plnned Under implementtion Under implementtion Proposed under MIEC Proposed under MIEC Proposed under MIEC 10.5 Multi-Modl Logistics Prk The Multi-Modl Logistics Prks (MMLPs) shll be developed in ccordnce with nticipted demnd from key economic centres nd development of other trnsporttion prticulrly ports nd ril. They constitute the lndside infrstructure prticulrly impcting the efficiency of crgo movement through ports. Thus priority shll be given to MMLPs tht cter to likely incresed demnd from port expnsion nd fcilitte Just-in-Time inventory mngement in order to reduce cost of logistics.
