Inwa Bridge, Myanmar

Inwa Bridge is a sixteen-span bridge over the Ayeyarwady River in Myanmar. It is about one kilometer long. The British built Inwa Bridge in 1934. The bridge connects the town of Inwa to Sagaing.

In 1942, during the Second World War, the British demolished two spans of Inwa Bridge to halt the advance of the Japanese army. So the connection between Sagaing and Inwa was broken until 1954 when the bridge was finally repaired and put back into operation.

Until the completion of the Thanlyin Bridge in 1993, Inwa Bridge was the longest bridge in Myanmar. It is still a toll bridge for motor vehicles. It also carries a rail line for trains.
