Vàm Cống bridge

The six-lane Vàm Cống Bridge stretches 2.97 kilometers across the Hau River, connecting Dong Thap Province with Can Tho City in southern Vietnam.

Construction of the bridge started in September 2013 and required five years to complete, with an investment of 5.7 trillion Vietnamese dong from multiple funding sources.

The bridge serves the Mekong Delta region, which generates 80 percent of Vietnam's rice exports and relies on efficient transportation infrastructure for agricultural distribution.

Vehicles can travel at speeds up to 80 kilometers per hour across the bridge, reducing cargo transportation time by three hours compared to previous ferry services.

The structure incorporates an advanced monitoring system with accelerometers, strain gauges, and intelligent cameras to continuously assess its structural integrity and environmental conditions.
