The bridge will be nearly five kilometres long, one end intersecting with Nghi Tam Street in Tay Ho District and the other at National Highway 5.
It will connect the suburban district of Dong Anh directly with the city centre
The winning design was created by the Sun Group and engineering firm T.Y. Lin International Vietnam.
