Vĩnh Tuy Bridge
Bridge on Red River in Hanoi, Vietnam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vĩnh Tuy Bridge (Vietnamese: Cầu Vĩnh Tuy) is a bridge over the Red River (Vietnamese: Sông Hồng) in Hanoi. It was one of the Millennial Anniversary of Hanoi commemorative projects, along with the Thanh Trì Bridge.
The bridge's first phase was completed in September 2009.[1] The second phase, essentially a second identical bridge running parallel to the original, was constructed between January 2021 and August 2023; expanding the bridge from four to eight car lanes.[2] Each bridge now serves its own traffic direction, alleviating congestion and accident risk caused by the original bridge having to share two-way traffic without hard lane dividers.[3]
It is unrelated to a smaller Vĩnh Tuy bridge near Điện Biên Phủ, destroyed in 1966 by United States Air Force bombing.[4]
