Hien Luong Bridge, Steel bridge in Vinh Linh District, Vietnam

The steel bridge spans 186 meters across the Ben Hai River, featuring a 9-meter-wide roadway and 1.2-meter pedestrian walkways on both sides.

The bridge marked the temporary boundary between North and South Vietnam from 1954 to 1976, symbolizing the national division during the Vietnam War.

The bridge contains a white demarcation line in its center, while two flagpoles on opposite banks displayed different flags during the separation period.

The structure connects National Route 1 between Quang Tri and Quang Binh provinces, serving as a transportation link for vehicles and pedestrians.

Loudspeakers mounted along both riverbanks engaged in propaganda broadcasts between North and South Vietnam from 1954 to 1964.
