When you visit Đà Nẵng, Vietnam, make sure to take in the impressive sights along the Hàn River, including the modern Nguyễn Văn Trỗi–Trần Thị Lý Bridge. Completed and opened on March 29, 2013, after four years of construction starting in April 2009, this impressive cable-stayed bridge replaced two older crossings that originally bore the names of Nguyễn Văn Trỗi and Trần Thị Lý. As you explore the city, you will find that the bridge conveniently connects three key areas: the Hai Chau, Son Tra, and Ngu Hanh Son districts.
Standing at a total height of 145 meters and stretching a total length of 731 meters across the Hàn River, it serves as a striking landmark for travelers looking to experience the local infrastructure. The location itself carries rich historical significance dating back to 1951, when French Indochina constructed Đà Nẵng's very first bridge, the De Lattre De Tassigny Bridge. Over the decades, that historic crossing was renamed the Trình Minh Thế Bridge in 1955 before becoming the Trần Thị Lý Bridge in 1975.
Built with a total investment of 497.7 billion VND, the current modern bridge offers a great opportunity to appreciate how the city seamlessly links its history with contemporary engineering.
