Cổ Chiên Bridge

The steel and concrete structure extends 1,680 meters across the Cổ Chiên River, connecting Tiền Giang Province with neighboring regions in the Mekong Delta.

The construction of this bridge, completed in 2015, represents a major advancement in Vietnam's infrastructure development following decades of limited river crossings.

The bridge design incorporates elements of Vietnamese engineering principles while serving as a meeting point for local merchants and travelers crossing the river.

Four traffic lanes and two emergency lanes allow for efficient transportation of agricultural products and daily commuting between the provinces of Tiền Giang and Bến Tre.

The bridge's location at coordinates 10.0287N, 106.3061E creates direct routes between multiple Mekong Delta provinces that previously required ferry crossings or lengthy detours.
