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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
