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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
