Thanlwin Bridge, Railway and road bridge in Mawlamyine, Myanmar.
Thanlwin Bridge is a combined railway and road structure that spans the Thanlwin River between Mawlamyine and Mottama. The structure has separate lanes for cars, trains, and pedestrians, with each form of transport using its own dedicated space.
Construction began in March 2000 and the structure was completed in April 2005, creating a major transportation link in southeastern Myanmar. The project marked an important step forward in the region's infrastructure development.
The bridge links communities that were previously separated by water, enabling residents to move more freely between the two sides for work and daily life. This connection has changed how people think about their region and what they can access.
The river can be strong during flood seasons and may affect access, so keeping an eye on weather conditions is wise. Visitors should also know that pedestrian access may be limited and safety precautions must be followed.
The structure stands where three rivers meet: the Thanlwin, Gyaing, and Attayan, making it strategically important. This rare geographic configuration allowed one of the region's largest bridge projects to be built.
