The Irrawaddy Bridge (Yadanabon) (Burmese: ဧရာဝတီတံတား (ရတနာပုံ)) (also Ayeyarwady Bridge, Yadanabon Bridge, Yadanar Pone Bridge or New Ava Bridge) is a bridge in Mandalay, Myanmar. It crosses the Irrawaddy River, to the southwest of Mandalay and Amarapura and just to the north of the old Ava Bridge, and is also known as the New Ava Bridge. It was completed in 2008.The old Ava (or Inva or Inwa Bridge) across the Ayeyarwady River had a span of 3,948 feet (1,203 m). Built by the British in 1934, until the 1990s,[2] it was the only bridge which spanned this river. The Ava had aged, and its carrying capacity became limited to under 15-ton capacity trucks since 1992. Heavily laden vehicles crossed the river with Z-craft ferries, resulting in less efficient transportation of goods.The Yadanabon Bridge spans the Irrawaddy River (Ayeyarwady River) in the Mandalay suburb connects with Sagaing City. It is 2,000 feet (610 m) upstream of the Ava Bridge.[1] which is at the confluence of the Irrawaddy with the Myitnge River, close to the Kyaukse rice fields.[2] The bridge (also known as Ayeyawady Bridge)[3] is the gateway to Yangon, Mandalay and interior other regions.[4] Nearby on the river banks are two 12th century payas known as Shwe-kyet-yet and Shwe-kyet-kya.This bridge is credit of myanmar.Thank you so much becaue of reading my paragraph.
