Nowadays, the government, the people and the Tatmadaw have been making harmonious efforts to construct roads for passing through mountains and to build bridges spanning rivers and creeks across the nation. As a result, road networks have been set up ensuring smooth transport from north to south and from east to west throughout the nation.
Indeed, Mon State plays a key role in realizing the national economy of the State. The region has rice surplus in the agriculture sector. Moreover, remarkable progress has been achieved in cultivation of rubber in the State after setting an aim that Mon State must be a rubber state.
In Mon State, special project bridges such as Thebyu Creek Bridge, Attayan Bridge, Donthami Creek Bridge, Ye River Bridge and Thanlwin Bridge (Mawlamyine), which is the longest and largest one in the country, have been built. In addition, the 1,365 feet long Sittoung Bridge (Moppalin) was inaugurated on 12 July 2008 contributing to more development of Mon State.
Sittoung Bridge (Moppalin) was built four miles downstream the existing Sittoung Bridge (Theinzayat). Its upper structure is steel frame type and the bridge can withstand 60-ton loads of every vehicle.
The bridge is connected with two approach roads — 224.1 feet long approach road was constructed on Kyaikto bank and 783.6 feet long one on Waw bank. The bridge is 2,392.7 feet long and it has 28 feet wide motorway flanked by six feet wide pedestrian ways.
In the past, the local people did not have easy access to Mon and Kayin States and Taninthayi
Division due to poor transport. At present, they have the opportunity to travel from one place to another in a short time. Furthermore, the local people can visit other States and Divisions through the bridges. Sittoung Bridge (Moppalin) is the sixth facility of its kind in Mon State as well as the 235th facility in the entire nation. River crossing bridges have been built one after another, and plans are under way to construct more and more bridges. Actually, these bridges are the milestones that reflect the correct leadership of the government, the ardent efforts and innovative capabilities of Myanmar engineers and the united strength of the national people.
