Rao Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Haiphong, Vietnam.
Rao Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that crosses the Lach Tray River and connects multiple districts of Haiphong together. It serves as a major traffic link joining different areas separated by the waterway.
The bridge was built at a location named after the former Rao village and provided the region with a new connection. It has developed into an important transportation hub in Haiphong's modern urban development.
The bridge functions as a gathering point where local residents meet and conduct various social activities throughout different times of the day.
Pedestrians and vehicles share this river crossing with adequate space for both. The wide structure allows for safe and comfortable passage at any time of day.
During a storm in 2010, several large ships broke free and caused significant damage to the structure. This event led to major repair work that demonstrated the bridge's resilience under extreme weather conditions.
