Han River Bridge – The Symbol Of Da Nang City

Han River Bridge Introduction

To fulfill the will of the people for many generations, the city government, along with the contribution of the people, was determined to build a unique swing bridge. Han River Bridge Da Nang was started on September 2, 1998, and inaugurated on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the liberation of Da Nang city on March 29, 2000.

This is the first turning bridge designed and built by Vietnamese engineers and workers and is still the only turning bridge in Vietnam. The bridge has a length of 487.7 meters, a width of 12.9 meters, including 11 spans, each span 33 meters long, prestressed reinforced concrete structure, and 02 cable-stayed spans with a total length of 122.7 meters. The main bridge girder and tower are made of steel, the deck slab is reinforced concrete.

The Han river bridge is Vietnam’s first swing bridge, a large pride of Da Nang residents. The Han River Bridge Da Nang – a symbol of the city’s fresh vigor and growing desire – was erected with the help of the whole city’s population.

It appears that the Han River’s poetic traits can only be realized thoroughly in the space of the Han River Bridge Danang, which is full of wind and ventilation. It not only enhances transportation and tourist potential, reviving the economic possibilities of a large region in the eastern city, but it also serves as a cultural landmark for Danang’s current and future generations.

Address: Le Duan street, Hai Chau District, Da Nang City.
