Dala Bridge

The Dala Bridge (Burmese: ဒလတံတား), officially known as the Myanmar–Korea Friendship Bridge (Burmese: မြန်မာ-ကိုရီးယား ချစ်ကြည်ရေးတံတား), is a bridge spanning across the Yangon River in Myanmar. It connects downtown Yangon with Dala Township.[1][2] It is the country's longest and largest steel cable-stayed bridge.[3][4]

The project was first proposed in 2012 during a state visit by then President U Thein Sein to South Korea. During the visit, the South Korean government agreed to support the infrastructure project as a gesture of goodwill and to foster bilateral relations with Burma. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was subsequently signed.[5]

Construction first began on 24 December 2018.[6] It was temporarily halted multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2021 military coup.[7]

The bridge was opened successfully on 6 February 2026.[8][3]
