Bính Bridge

The Binh Bridge is a cable-stayed structure spanning 1347 meters across the Cam River with two support towers connected by steel cables to the deck. The structure is 22.5 meters wide with six traffic lanes, allowing passage for both vehicles and vessels up to 25 meters in height.

Japanese engineers designed and built the structure starting in 2002 with funding from the Japanese government, completing it in 2005. The project was part of Vietnam's effort to modernize its infrastructure and improve connections between industrial areas.

The bridge links Haiphong with surrounding industrial areas and makes it easier for goods to flow between the port and factories along the river. For local people, it is a daily transportation route and a symbol of the city's modern growth.

The bridge is easily accessible from both sides and has wide pedestrian walkways alongside the traffic lanes. Visiting early in the morning or evening is best when traffic is lighter and you can see the structure more clearly.

During a storm in 2010, a series of ship collisions damaged the bridge's cable system, requiring extensive repairs. This event demonstrated the durability of the structure, which was fully restored and continues to handle heavy traffic today.
