Abstract

The Burma Road Project is a typical case of wartime project and has great significance in the history of highway engineering in China. While reviewing the decision making process of the Burma Road project,the paper concludes that the opportunity for its construction is related to the full-scale outburst of the Anti-Japanese War, thus it shows the characteristic of hurrying. As an international road project to Burma, the Burma Road possesses a certain economic and political base in China. At the same time, with the foundation of Yunnan’s traffic construction as a support, the project has also obtained support from British government, all of these have further contributed to the determination of the road route plan and also provided political guarantee for China to transport materials with the subsequent use of the transport network in Burma.
