 Myanma Railways plans to develop a new
potential dry port in the area of Ywarthargyi in Yangon
Division.

Ywarthargyi

Thilawa SEZ
 Dry Project of Yangon Region (YWA THA GYI)
 The Dry Port Project of Yangon Region is located in the East Dagon Township
in Yangon City in Yangon Region.
 The nearest seaports are the Asia World Port Terminal, Myanmar Industrial
Port, Botahtaung Port that are along the Yangon River and Myanmar
International Terminal Thilawa (MITT) near the mouth of the Sea.
 It can easily be linked to the Yangon-Bago-Taungoo-Pyinmana-Meikhtila-
Mandalay Road network.
 It is also situated on the Yangon-Mandalay Railway line (Main Railway
Corridor).
 Again, it is only about 15 miles away from the Yangon International Airport
and so it is easy to link to it too. And the Dry Port itself has the railway line
connected to Yangon-Bago and extended to Hanthawaddy International Airport
which will be the biggest Airport in near future.
 There are some Yangon Inland Waterway ports along the Yangon River that can
easily be linked to this Dry Port too.
