New bridge expected to ease traffic jams in Hanoi

After three years of construction, Vinh Tuy 2 bridge is inaugurated on August 29th.

Vinh Tuy 2 bridge is situated at Red River’s downstream, right next to the Vinh Tuy 1 bridge.

They both connect Nguyen Khoai and Minh Khai roads in Hai Ba Trung district to Co Linh road in Long Bien district.

Vinh Tuy 2 bridge is over-19-meter wide and 11-meter tall. It has been constructed since January 2021 with a total investment of over 102 million USD.

Now that lighting system and traffic signs have now been set up completely, it is open to traffic on August 29th afternoon. Notably, a rocket-shaped led lighting is set up in the middle of the bridge for illuminating the bridge.

Vinh Tuy 2 bridge is expected to ease the traffic burden on the old bridge. Also, it is expected to facilitate traffic connection between Hanoi’s Northern and Northeastern parts and boost Hanoi’s overall socio-economic development./.
