The Sittaung Bridge at Moppalin (Burmese: စစ်တောင်းတံတား (မုပ္ပလင်)) is a steel bridge spanning the Sittaung river between Waw, Bago Region and Moppalin, Mon State of Myanmar. The bridge is 729.295 metres (2,392.70 ft) long, and has a capacity of 50 tonnes. It is the second bridge across the Sittaung. The older Sittaung Bridge at Theinzayat cannot serve heavier trucks.
