Chinese input for Laos link

Chinese funding worth some US$50 million will help pay for a bridge project in Laos. The loans will be provided by the 2834 China Export and Import Bank. The project calls for a new bridge connecting Sayaboury province's Ngeun district and Oudomsay's Parkbeng district across the Mekong River. The concrete bridge will take three years to build and will be 560m long.
