Thanlyin Bridge, River crossing in Yangon, Myanmar
The Thanlyin Bridge extends 2.2 kilometers across the Bago River, featuring two traffic lanes, a central rail track, and pedestrian walkways on both sides.
Construction of the bridge started in 1985 with Chinese assistance but faced an eight-month interruption during the political changes of 1988 to 1989.
The structure enhances transportation between Yangon and Thanlyin, connecting local communities and supporting the development of the Thilawa port industrial zone.
The bridge accommodates different modes of transportation with its dual carriageway design, railway line, and separate paths for motorcycles and pedestrians.
The bridge received funding through a 207 million yen interest-free loan from China and required a total investment of 1.65 billion Myanmar kyats.
