Ava Bridge, Steel cantilever bridge over Irrawaddy River in Mandalay Region, Myanmar.
The Ava Bridge stretches 3,948 feet across the Irrawaddy River, connecting the cities of Ava and Sagaing through sixteen structural spans.
British engineers completed the construction of Ava Bridge in 1934, but military forces destroyed it during World War II before its reconstruction in 1954.
The bridge forms a connection between numerous Buddhist monasteries and temples, including the Maha Aung Mye Bonzan and the Mahāgandhāyon monastic college.
Vehicle weight restrictions on the bridge limit transportation to loads under 15 tons, directing larger cargo to alternative river crossing methods.
For several decades, the Ava Bridge remained the single crossing point over the Irrawaddy River until the construction of the Yadanabon Bridge.
