Mong Bridge, Steel bridge in District 1, Vietnam
The Mong Bridge spans 128 meters across the Tau Hu canal with a width of 5.2 meters and features a blue-painted steel structure.
French construction company Levallois Perret, led by Gustave Eiffel, built the bridge between 1893 and 1894 to replace a ferry route.
The name Cau Mong translates to Rainbow Bridge in Vietnamese, reflecting the structure's curved design that connects District 1 with District 4.
Located next to Vo Van Kiet Boulevard, the bridge now serves as a footbridge following its reconstruction in 2005 during the Saigon River Tunnel project.
The bridge's original name, Pont des Messageries maritimes, came from the merchant shipping company that commissioned its construction in the 19th century.
