Cầu Ông Thìn, Steel bridge in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam

The bridge extends across the Song Ma River, consisting of a primary steel structure that connects the transportation networks northeast of Thanh Hoa city.

Originally constructed during French colonial rule, the bridge gained recognition during the Vietnam War for withstanding over 300 bombing raids between 1965 and 1972.

The bridge earned the name Dragon's Jaw among local residents, reflecting Vietnamese traditions of associating strong structures with dragon imagery.

Located three miles northeast of Thanh Hoa, the bridge serves as a vital transportation link for vehicles and pedestrians crossing the Song Ma River.

The bridge's structural design demonstrated exceptional durability, resisting numerous attacks with advanced weapons until its eventual destruction in May 1972.
