After Vietnam’s government succeeded in rising up against the colonialists and gained independence, Nguyen Van Troi Bridge was the one and only link between the city center to the adherent areas which were separated by Han River. Therefore, the municipal council proposed the idea of another bridge construction crossing Han River to fulfill their people’s needs.

The authority managed to put up a bridge of 11 spans, connecting 2 main routes of Da Nang City: Le Duan street to the west and Pham Van Dong street to the east side.

It was in 1998 Feb that they began the construction process; not until 2000 when the bridge was open for public use.

Han River Bridge is the first to be able to swing in Vietnam, designed by indigenous architects and built by Da Nang’s own citizens, which is hailed as a milestone of the city’s history.
