SMEC has provided the conceptual design for an approach road to the Gote Hteik Bridge in Myanmar’s northern Shan State, a landmark project in Myanmar. The project was a joint investment by Myanmar’s Oriental Highway Company Ltd and China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd.

The 20 km road is located along the Myanmar National Highway No.3, between Lashio and Mandalay, which is a section of the China-Myanmar Highway.
