About The Bridge:
The South Korea-Myanmar Friendship Bridge, also known as the Dala Bridge, is a four-lane cable stayed bridge connecting Lanmadaw and Dala townships in Yangon, Myanmar.
The Yangon Approach Side Bridge runs through the Centre of Yangon city. With the route just being a stone throw’s away from popular tourist spots such as the Sule Pagoda and Chinatown, the construction will take place among bustling crowds of locals and tourists alike.
The commercial sea port of Yangon, which is located adjacent to the project site, adds on the challenge of having to safely redirect heavy vehicles away from closed off areas of construction.

Approach bridge with longitudinal slope of 6% gradient. PC I-Grider lifting height up to 45m from ground level.
