Thanlwin Bridge (Mawlamyine) is a major road and rail bridge crossing the wide Thanlwin River. Completed in the early 2000s, it dramatically shortened travel times between Mawlamyine and points south. The bridge is a vital transportation link and a striking sight, especially when viewed from the riverbanks or from the nearby hills. Pedestrians can walk across for expansive river views and a sense of the bridge's massive scale.
