First concrete filled steel tubular arch bridge in Vietnam
Vov/Hanoitimes 15:56, 2014/07/16
Workers are putting the finishing touches to Dong Tru concrete-filled steel tubular arch bridge, the first of its kind in Vietnam, which is due to open to traffic in October 2014.

The bridge, spanning the Duong River, links Dong Hoi commune of Dong Anh district with Ngoc Thuy ward of Long Bien district in Hanoi. 
 

 

It is part of the extended Highway No5 project, serving as a key artery to support urban and industrial development in the northern part of the Red River.

The bridge got off the ground in 2006 with a total investment of more than VND6,600 billion sourced from the State budget.

It has been built by the Civil Engineering Construction Corporation No1 JSC (Cienco 1) and China-based Guangxi Road and Bridge Construction Company. However, the Chinese contractor withdrew from the project in June 2012.

Once completed, the 1,140m long bridge will have eight lanes, three main spans, and two access roads.
