Vietnam inaugurates biggest concrete bridge

The 12.8-km Thanh Tri, Vietnam's largest pre-stressed concrete bridge, was open to traffic on Friday, Vietnam News Agency reported. The bridge over the Red River running through Hanoi capital with the section crossing the river being nearly 3.1 km in length will help ease traffic congestion in the city, and facilitate socioeconomic development of the city and some other northern localities.

The bridge is over 33.1 m in width with six lanes, including four designed for vehicles to run at a speed of 100 km per hour. The bridge project is funded by Japan's official development assistance and Vietnam's reciprocal capital. Thanh Tri is the fourth bridge spanning the Red River.
