Vietnam's Hai Phong Approves $147M Infrastructure Project
Vietnam's port city Hai Phong has greenlit a VND3.858 trillion investment to construct a six-lane bridge and 4.2-kilometer road connecting the city center to its undeveloped southern coastline. The flagship Rao 3 bridge, spanning 610 meters across the Lach Tray River, features an innovative steel arch design with vertical suspension cables inspired by a "Waves and Light" concept. The 344-meter main span will accommodate six motor vehicle lanes, two mixed-use lanes, and pedestrian walkways. This infrastructure project is designed to reshape urban geography and alleviate severe congestion on Provincial Road 353, which currently serves as the primary southern route and has required peak-hour truck weight restrictions.
