Kyungon Bridge
The Kyungon Bridge is a bridge on the Wakema–Kyungon–Myinkaseik–Pathein Road across the Pyamalaw River between Wakema Township and Einme Township in Ayeyawady Region of Burma (Myanmar). The one-way bridge is a Bailey suspension bridge with a span of 500 feet (150 m) but only 14 feet (4.3 m) wide.[1]
Using the Kyungon Bridge to travel from Wakema to Pathein, it is only 55.4 miles (89 km) and thus is the shortest route from Wakema to Pathein.[1] The route through Kangalay is 92 miles (148 km) long and the route through Einme is 86 miles (138 km) long.[1] The bridge was opened on 25 October 2009.[2]

gollark: That is worrying, actually - could you launch a fake nuke to set off nuclear war without having to actually do nuclear refining stuff?
gollark: BIG GRAVITY is suppressing knowledge of antigravity, since they want to keep you DOWNWARD and WITHIN GRAVITATIONAL FIELDS.
gollark: He can't restrict Derp, then people would know he worked for BIG GRAVITY.
