Detail InformationEdit

Can Tho Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the Hậu (Bassac) River, the largest distributary of the Mekong River, in the city of Can Thơ in southern Vietnam. The bridge is 2.75 kilometres long (1.68 miles). It has a 6-lane carriageway measuring 23 metres (76 feet) in width, with 4 lanes for traffic and two pedestrian lanes. It has a clearance of 39 metres (128 feet), which allows large ships to pass underneath it. The bridge was inaugurated on April 24, 2010.
The bridge is currently the longest main span cable-stayed bridge in Southeast Asia. The cost of construction is estimated to be 4.842 trillion Vietnamese dang (approximately 342.6 million U.S. Dollars), making it the most expensive bridge in Vietnam.
Prime Minister Phan Van Khai launched construction of the bridge on September 25, 2004, which was scheduled to be completed in late 2008. The collapse of the partially built bridge in 2007 delayed its opening. The can Tho bridge is one among 17 bridges planned to integrate the Mekong Delta into the road network of Vietnam by 2020. The bridge replaced the network of ferries on the National Road 1A linking Vinh Long Province on the east shore with Can Thơ city on the westbank.
The construction of the bridge was supervised by the consultant group Nippon Koei-Chodai and contracted to several Japanese contractors: Taisei Corporation, Kajima Construction and Nippon Steel. Capital for the project was funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency with official development assistance loan from the Japan Bank of International Cooperation and the Vietnamese government. Cần Thơ Bridge is insured by the Petrolimex Joint Stock Insurance Company and PetroVietnam Insurance Company for 3.2 trillion Vietnamese đồng (200 million U.S. Dollars).
