Construction of the bridge began in August 2009 at a cost of over 155 million USD. The bridge, measuring 25.5 m in width and 1.48 km in length, links Hoi An city with Duy Xuyen and Thang Binh districts. The bridge is also expected to facilitate the use of 40 thousand hectares of uncultivated land in the province’s southeastern region and support another project on natural disaster adaptation.
