Actually if you are planning a visit to the bridge over the next few weeks, you may find that it is still being repaired. Some heavy rain in July 2013, caused part of the structure to collapse, but it is hoped it will be soon be fixed.
In the meantime, another bridge made of traditional bamboo has been constructed to allow people to cross the river. Some find it rather a hair-raising walk across but while funds are being raised to fix the old Mon structure, it is one of the few ways to pass between the main areas of the town.
