The Hoang Gia Bridge, also known as the May Chai Bridge, is a nearly VND2 trillion project currently under construction in Hai Phong City. Spanning the Cam River, the bridge is expected to be completed ahead of schedule.
With a total length of nearly 2.2 km, the bridge includes a main span and approach viaducts.
The main span is 21 meters wide and features four lanes, while the approach viaducts on both sides are 17.5 meters wide.
The Hoang Gia Bridge starts at Vu Yen Island in Thuy Nguyen District and ends at Le Thanh Tong Street, connecting with the Cau Tre at May Chai Ward in Ngo Quyen District, Hai Phong City.
The bridge project has a total investment of nearly VND2 trillion.
The design of the Hoang Gia Bridge complements the city’s architectural landscape and serves as a prominent landmark.
The design concept behind the Hoang Gia Bridge is the “World Gateway Bridge,” featuring two towers leaning towards the river.
This design creates an arched shape, symbolizing a welcoming gateway to Vietnam for international visitors and a farewell to departing ships and passengers.
Each tower features a unique design inspired by the image of wings, representing the aspiration to soar high and achieve success. Additionally, the “V” shape symbolizes both Vietnam and “Victory.”
Currently, the project has reached approximately 60% completion. Notably, the construction of the approach viaducts and roundabout on Vu Yen Island is ahead of schedule, nearing 90% completion.
Recently, the contractor has focused resources on the project to accelerate construction while ensuring technical standards. Experienced engineers and workers who have worked on modern cable-stayed bridge projects in Vietnam, such as the My Thuan, Bach Dang, Tran Thi Ly, and Rach Mieu 1-2 bridges, have been mobilized for the Hoang Gia Bridge project.
