CẦN THƠ — Construction of a bridge linking Ninh Kiều and Cái Răng districts in the southern city of Cần Thơ will begin in the first quarter of next year.

The Trần Hoàng Na Bridge over the Cần Thơ River, also including approach roads and other works, will cost more than VNĐ839 billion (US$ 36.9 million) to be sourced from official development assistance loans.

It will be 587m long and 23m wide with pavements a bit wider than usual in some places to allow people to stop and admire the river view below.

The bridge is designed by the Ministry of Transport-owned Transport Engineering Design Inc. — VNS
