Welcome to Da Nang, Vietnam, where you can marvel at the impressive Thuận Phước Bridge, a modern engineering landmark spanning the mouth of the scenic Han River. As the longest suspension bridge in Vietnam, this four-lane structure stretches a total length of 1,850 meters and measures 18 meters wide. When you visit this bustling port city, taking in the grand scale of this bridge is a remarkable experience.
You will see its three distinct spans, anchored by two massive main towers that reach 80 meters into the air, with a dramatic central main span extending 405 meters across the water. Construction of this bridge began in 2003 and required an estimated cost of 650 billion Vietnamese dong (about 42 million US dollars), with total investments approaching nearly 1 trillion dong. International collaboration played a key role in its completion, with consulting firms from China, Cuba, and Canada providing vital assistance.
The project culminated on July 19, 2009, when Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and prominent government officials attended the official inauguration ceremony. Whether you are observing its massive towers or admiring how it connects the Han River mouth, the Thuận Phước Bridge offers an exciting sight on your Da Nang journey.
