Rural and mountain infrastructure development in Asia

Overview

Infrastructure and heritage projects are enhancing connectivity and economic opportunities across various mountainous and rural regions in Asia.

In China, developments in Guizhou and Qinghai provinces have replaced traditional crossings with modern structures. In Guizhou, the ‘New Red Army Bridge’ has improved transport for local goods and tourism, while in Qinghai, modern bridges along the Tongtian River have replaced oxhide rafts, providing safer and more efficient travel.

In the Himalayan regions, Bhutan has restored the ancient Trans-Bhutan Trail, rebuilding paths and bridges to promote sustainable tourism and community reconnection. Meanwhile, in northern India’s Ladakh-Zanskar region, the construction of the Zanskar National Highway is connecting isolated high-altitude villages to borders and improving educational and economic access for local residents.
