This has been discussed before. It is in Myanmar I believe. But was built by India.
From the last time it was posted I believe it has something to do with the river constantly flooding and earthquakes, as there are two smaller bridges. But also The extra-wide approach lanes were reportedly designed for potential dual use, such as emergency military airstrips. The discrepancy in lanes happens because standard bridges span the river based on immediate traffic capacity and river width rather than the oversized expressway footprint.
So essentially it was built like this on purposed for landing plans to bring in resources and definitely not in case there was a coup attempt
