Chapter Analysing Progress on Connectivity in ASEAN 1. 2 Progress on connectivity in ASEAN was assessed for each of the 19 strategies included in MPAC 2010 (Exhibit 3). Physical Connectivity 2. Progress on major infrastructure projects supporting physical connectivity in ASEAN has been mixed. Notable progress has been made on the ASEAN Highway Network (AHN), which aims to establish efficient, integrated, safe, and environmentally sustainable regional land transport corridors linking all ASEAN Member States and neighbouring countries. There are no more AHN missing links in the region and the total length of roads below Class III5 reduced by 46.2%, from 5,311.2 km in 2010 to 2,454 km in 2015, which includes 1,200 km on the priority Transit Transport Routes (TTR).6 3. The implementation of Singapore-Kunming Rail Link (SKRL) sections from Singapore to Phnom Penh are on schedule. However, the SKRL sections from Cambodia to Viet Nam as well as those in Lao PDR are still seeking funding for project implementation. The Neak Loeung Bridge was inaugurated and operationalised in April 2015. 4. As a follow-up to the recommendations of the MPAC 2010 and the Feasibility Study on the Establishment of an ASEAN Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) Shipping Network and Short-sea Shipping which was completed in March 2013, ASEAN Member States agreed to focus on operationalising any of the three priority routes (i.e. Dumai-Melaka, Belawan-Penang-Phuket, and Davao/General Santos-Bitung). 5. Nine power interconnection projects under the ASEAN Power Grid (APG) and thirteen bilateral gas pipelines under the Trans-ASEAN Gas Pipeline (TAGP) have been completed. The latest project was successfully completed and synchronised on 20 January 2016 between Sarawak – West Kalimantan and is currently supplying 70MW of electricity. Despite the scope and complexities, 5 Primary roads are access-controlled motorways; Class I roads are highways with four or more lanes; Class II roads are two-lane roads (which are cement or concrete); Class III roads are narrow two-lane roads with double bituminous treatment. 6 ASEAN Transport Strategic Plan 2016-2025, November 2015. Although the total length of roads below Class III has reduced, Lao PDR and Myanmar have put up efforts to upgrade their below Class III roads on TTR as envisaged under MPAC 2010.
