According to the plan for the years leading up to 2030, Hanoi aims to build 16 bridges over the Hồng River. This will create favorable conditions for seamless connections between economic and political centers, local regions, and satellite towns.
1 in 4 bridge projects, inspired by the Bird of Peace, will begin construction in Hanoi this year. The Thượng Cát Bridge, built across the Hồng River, will contribute to the synchronous development of transport infrastructure. It will connect the central urban area with suburban areas and the future northern city of the Capital and Vĩnh Phúc province.
Apart from the Thượng Cát bridge, the remaining three bridges – Vân Phúc, Hồng Hà, and Mễ Sở – will also be built in the third and fourth quarters of this year. Hồng Hà and Mễ Sở are two bridges on Ring Road 4 that are expected to create a turning point for the capital’s development.
According to the plan from now until 2030, Hanoi will have four more bridges connecting the banks of the Hồng River, including Tứ Liên, Trần Hưng Đạo, Ngọc Hồi, and Phú Xuyên bridges.
More than 100 years ago, Long Biên was the first iron bridge that connected the two banks of Hanoi’s Hồng River, becoming a part of the city’s history. In the fall of 1954, the bridge welcomed the victorious army back to liberate the capital and connected trade between the two sides of the river until today. Many other bridges were built in later years, creating a new and more modern look for the city.
Hanoi currently has 8 bridges spanning the Hồng River, which serve as both historical witnesses and a highlight of the city’s development. Hanoi is now a large city with many potentials and opportunities, with a new development orientation towards the Hồng River. To realize this idea, Hanoi needs more bridges across the river. These bridges will create motivation for the socio-economic development of the Capital in the future.
