Irrawaddy Bridge, Steel arch bridge crossing the Irrawaddy River in Mandalay Region, Myanmar.
The Irrawaddy Bridge extends 1.71 kilometers across the river with four vehicle lanes and two pedestrian walkways connecting Mandalay and Amarapura regions.
The bridge opened on April 11, 2008, replacing the need for ferry services that previously transported goods and people across this section of the Irrawaddy River.
The bridge stands near two 12th-century Buddhist structures, Shwe-kyet-yet and Shwe-kyet-kya, which represent the religious heritage of the Mandalay Region.
The structure accommodates approximately 2,700 vehicles daily and supports loads up to 60 tons, facilitating trade between major economic centers in Myanmar.
The bridge features three rigid arches with approach lengths of 350 meters on the Mandalay side and 240 meters on the Sagaing side.
