Thanlyin Bridge

Thanlyin Bridge (Burmese: သန်လျင် တံတား), also spelled Thanhlyin Bridge or Than Hl Yin Bridge, is a bridge that links the cities of Thanlyin and Yangon in Myanmar. The bridge crosses the 1-km wide Bago river, and is situated about 42 km northeast from the river's confluence with Yangon river. The br

idge has a single rail track in the middle, surrounded by a motorcycle roadway on each side. Highway 6 goes over the bridge and connects Yangon with the Thilawa port and Thanlyin Industrial Zone. The bridge will soon be joined by the Thanlyin Bridge 2, which has been under construction since the mid-2000s with assistance from Japan.
