Yangon – Dala Bridge, which connect the city of Yangon to the southern town of Dala across Yangon river, is under implementation to be completed by the end of December.
Despite its scheduled initialization in April 2017, the Korea-Myanmar Friendship Bridge construction project began in May 2019. It is a steel cable-stayed bridge with a total length of 1,872.5 metres (6,144 feet), a main bridge length of 590 metres (1,936 feet), and a width of 26.5 metres (87 feet) with four lanes.
The bridge was a sight to behold from the Strand Road or tall buildings facing the river. The initial feedback from drivers have been the fact that the bridge seemed too tall and most of them being afraid to drive up such an ascent.
On the economic side, proving that the pasttime of Myanmar well-to-do unemployed remains speculation, the residential land of 40’ by 60’ in Data are being priced at even higher psf price than the famous Golden Valley area of Bahan township. The speculation might just turn out to be much ado about nothing. Buyers Beware please!
