Hoa Binh 2 Bridge.
Hoa Binh 2 Bridge will link Thinh Minh wharf in Thinh Lang ward with the

metres, including 497.05 metres of the bridge and 282.95 metres of access roads
at the two ends, with its main span 24 metres wide. The maximum designed speed

After the historic victory on April 30, 1975, which liberated the South and reunified the country, the whole Vietnam embarked on a new mission — promoting peace and reconstructing the nation with century-defining projects. On the fierce Da River, over 30,000 engineers, sappers, and construction workers battled against rocky mountains and raging floods to achieve a remarkable feat. The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia at that time, officially began generating electricity, lighting up the North and ushering in a new era of industrialisation.
