Da Nang inaugurates Vietnam-Japan friendship bridge

On July 1, the Mikazuki Group coordinated with the People's Committee of Da Nang City to inaugurate a pedestrian bridge, across Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, as part of celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Vietnam-Japan diplomatic relations (1973-2023).

The overpass connects the Da Nang Mikazuki entertainment complex and a beach across Nguyen Tat Thanh Street. The bridge will allow local people and visitors to safely reach the beach and enjoy the beautiful landscape of the locality.

With a total investment of 42 billion VND (nearly 1.8 million USD), the bridge is nearly 13 metres tall and over 140 metres long, with a floor area of approximately 655 sq.m. The pathway leading up to the bridge is designed as a knot in the art of Japanese weaving, symbolising the strong bond between the Vietnamese and Japanese cultures.

The structure’s shape is inspired by ocean waves, creating a sense of lightness, tranquillity, and integration with the surrounding landscape.

On the outside, two observation decks are complemented by steel spiral staircases and elevators, providing easy access for people with disabilities to cross the bridge.

This bridge not only brings the value of traffic and connection for people and tourists to conveniently use and safely navigate across Nguyen Tat Thanh Street but also has the value of connecting and crossing cultures between the two countries.

This is also an impressive check-in point in Da Nang, seen from above, overlooking Da Nang Bay.
