The Ava Bridge (Burmese: အင်းဝတံတား) was a 16-span simply supported bridge between Ava and Sagaing, Mandalay Division, Burma. It was built by the British in 1934. The bridge was destroyed by the retreating British Army during World War II and was rebuilt in 1954 after Burmese independence. It was the only bridge to span the Irrawaddy River until the early 21st century, when a spate of bridge construction was carried out by the government, including the new Irrawaddy Bridge, completed in 2008.[1][2]

Due to the 2025 Myanmar earthquake, the bridge collapsed into the Irrawaddy River. Additionally, there were severe ground cracks around the bridge in the soil.[3]
