AI Overview

Asian Highway 1 wasn't "built" by a single entity; it's a network of roads created and upgraded by multiple governments and authorities in the countries it traverses, with the overall United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) (formerly ECAFE) spearheading the overarching international project since 1959. The Asian Highway Network aims to modernize and connect existing national roads, rather than constructing an entirely new highway.

Key Points:

ESCAP/ECAFE:

The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), initially the UN Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE), initiated the Asian Highway project in 1959 to promote international road transport and economic development.

Intergovernmental Agreement: The Intergovernmental Agreement on the Asian Highway Network (IGA), adopted in 2003, provides the framework for cooperation and the identification of AH routes, including AH1. National Responsibility:

The actual construction and upgrades of the segments that make up Asian

Highway 1 are carried out by the respective member countries through their national road authorities, such as the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in India.

Existing Infrastructure:

The project focuses on upgrading and connecting existing roads, with member governments investing in improving infrastructure within their own borders.
