The bridges in Vietnam not only link roads and towns but also bear cultural and spiritual values and mark the development of the country.
Vietnam is a country of rivers, lakes and of course, bridges, which have played a part in the nation’s history.
Vietnam has a diverse network of bridges from foot bridges and bamboo bridges in rural areas to today’s modern bridges.
Some of them have great architectural or cultural values and represent certain regions such as The Huc bridge in central Hanoi, the Thanh Toan bridge in the former royal city of Hue, and the Chua bridge in Hoi An-Quang Nam.
Some are closely attached to the ups and downs of the country’s history such as the Long Bien bridge in Hanoi and Trang Tien bridge in Hue.
Others bear the deep history and significance of the war such as the Ham Rong bridge in Thanh Hoa province, and the Hien Luong bridge in Quang Tri.
Many have been built recently with state-of-the-art technology to boost the country’s socio-economic development, among them the Binh bridge in Haiphong, Han River bridge in Danang, Bai Chay bridge in Quang Ninh, My Thuan bridge in Tien Giang and Vinh Long, and Can Tho bridge in Can Tho and Vinh Long.
