Memorial Park of Mount Song Battle to Huitong Bridge - Ledo Road - Driving Stilwell Road

Описание: Huitong Bridge
This "Burma Road" bridge (Sometimes spelled as Hwei Tung), with a span of 123 meters, has been preserved as a monument because it was here that the Japanese army was stopped during World war-II. The invaders coming up the Burma Road from the South were unable to cross the Nujiang river (Salween) after the bridge was blown up on the 5th of May 1942 by the Chinese defence.
The bridge was reconstructed to handle the supplies coming up the Ledo Road after the Chinese recaptured Songshan mountian and the far Western part of Yunnan again at the end of 1944.-Google
Much has changed since World war-II. What ones was a vital and impressing 123-meter crossing 15 meters above the water now looks like a toy. In 1977 a whole new bridge was built just downstream that now dominates the view. -Google

Ledo Road
The Ledo Road was an overland connection between British India and China, built during World War II to enable the Western Allies to deliver supplies to China and aid the war effort against Japan. After the Japanese cut off the Burma Road in 1942 an alternative was required, hence the construction of the Ledo Road. It was renamed the Stilwell Road, after General Joseph Stilwell of the U.S. Army, in early 1945 at the suggestion of Chiang Kai-shek.It passes through the Burmese towns of Shingbwiyang, Myitkyina and Bhamo in Kachin state. Of the 1,726 kilometres (1,072 mi) long road, 1,033 kilometres (642 mi) are in Burma and 632 kilometres (393 mi) in China with the remainder 61 km was in India.[5] The road had the Ledo-Pangsau Pass-Tanai (Danai)-Myitkyina--Bhamo-Mansi-Namhkam-Kunming route.

The Ledo Road in China belongs to National Highway 320 now. From the starting point in Kunming to Wanding Port.
