Top 15 Most Beautiful and Iconic Bridges in Hai Phong City

Hoang Van Thu Bridge spans across the Cam River, connecting Minh Khai Ward, Hong Bang District with Tan Duong Commune, Thuy Nguyen District.

Commenced in January 2017, Hoang Van Thu Bridge is one of the key components of the infrastructure development project in the North Cam River urban area. The bridge, resembling a seabird, features a prestressed concrete girder, 33.5 meters wide, comprising 2 pedestrian sidewalks, 2 mixed-use lanes, and 4 motorized vehicle lanes.

After over 2 years of construction, the bridge was officially inaugurated on October 15, 2019, becoming the most beautiful bridge in Hai Phong. Particularly, this project contributes to urban beautification and development, elevating Hai Phong to a new position and laying the foundation for future growth.

Le Hong Phong Bridge is a flyover at the intersection of Le Hong Phong - Nguyen Binh Khiem.

Le Hong Phong Bridge is a vital artery expanding Hai Phong's urban space, part of the investment project to build the Ho Sen - Rao 2 Bridge route, a critically important project contributing to completing the urban transportation system in the southern and southeastern parts of the city.

This transportation axis helps complete the transportation network, reduce traffic congestion for the Cau Dat - Lach Tray - Rao route, leverage the effectiveness of exploiting the Rao 2 Bridge, and increase transport capacity for Hai Phong's seaport system.

Le Hong Phong Bridge is adorned with LED lighting systems on its suspension cables, leaving an architectural imprint on Hai Phong. It is also one of the city's important traffic junctions. Le Hong Phong Bridge is designed with a steel arch suspension structure of 5 spans, 16m wide with 4 motorized vehicle lanes.

Witnessing many ups and downs in the nation's history, Quay Bridge still stands proudly and remains a symbol of national pride.

In 2013, Hai Phong constructed the Tam Bạc road bridge parallel to Quay Bridge to meet the transportation needs between the Hồng Bàng and Lê Chân districts, relieving the traffic burden on this hundred-year-old bridge.

Together with Kiền Bridge, Bính Bridge has also contributed to relieving the traffic burden on National Highway 5 and National Highway 10. It has also contributed to the development strategy of the Hanoi - Hai Phong - Quang Ninh economic triangle, creating favorable conditions for the development of the North Cấm River urban area.

Bính Bridge completion has realized the dreams of over 275,000 people living in Thủy Nguyên district, ending the era of ferry crossing. Consequently, the market for natural materials and agricultural and industrial products has expanded and developed better.

Following the Mỹ Thuận Bridge, this is the second largest cable-stayed bridge in Vietnam, with a total length of 1,186m and a width of 16.7m constructed by the consortium of Sumitomo Mitsui (Japan) - Thăng Long Construction Company (Vietnam). Kiền Bridge is positioned to connect Kiền ferry terminal to National Highway 10, spanning the Cấm River.

Previously, travel between the two riverbanks was only possible by ferry, which often involved waiting delays. After two years, overcoming challenges of weather and complex geological conditions, as well as advancements in technology, modern equipment was transferred for the first time in Vietnam.

The construction of this bridge involved large-scale operations, including drilling pile foundations with diameters of ø2m and ø1m, with depths ranging from 70 to 80m, totaling 13,680m in length; constructing nearly 100m tall tower crane gate towers; casting box girders and installing 110 box girders weighing 14,300 tons using cantilever construction method, with a lifting height of 30m; tensioning 375 tons of prestressed cables, consisting of 36 pairs of stay cables; pouring 45,000m3 of reinforced concrete; and using 6,910 tons of steel for bridge construction.
