On the occasion of the 38th anniversary of Danang’s Liberation Day (March 29, 1975 – March 29, 2013), two new bridges over the Han River – the Rong (Dragon) Bridge and Tran Thi Ly Bridge were inaugurated and put into operation.
The two bridges will help boost the economic development of the city to affirm the position of Danang city as an economic, political, cultural and social centre of the central region and the Central Highlands. At the same time, the two bridges are also considered new symbols of the city, a tourism draw-card of unique architecture on the Han River. In the evening, the city will become more beautiful and sparkling.
The six-lane Rong Bridge, 666m long and 36m wide, was designed in the shape of a dragon flying to the sea. The dragon head can spray water or fire, making the bridge uniquely attractive. It has total invested capital of over VND1,700 billion.
The Tran Thi Ly Bridge, with the length of 731meters and width of 34.5meters, also features a distinctive shape: a sail ballooning in the wind.
