Location of Ngọc Hồi Bridge
The Hanoi People’s Committee Office has released a statement regarding the upcoming construction of the Ngọc Hồi Bridge and its access roads. Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee, Tran Sy Thanh, has directed the Hanoi Transportation Project Management Board to immediately commence the pre-qualification of domestic and international EPC contractors for the project. Relevant units and departments have also been instructed to expedite procedures to ensure that construction begins on the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (19/8).
The Ngọc Hồi Bridge and its access roads will span a total length of approximately 7.5 km, with 5.4 km in Hanoi and 2.1 km in Hung Yen province. The starting point (Km0+00) will connect with the end point of the 3.5 ring road (Phuc La – Van Phu to Phap Van – Cau Gie section towards the right bank of the Red River) in Thanh Tri district. The endpoint (Km7+500) will connect with the 3.5 ring road, about 700m from the left bank of the Red River, in Van Giang district, Hung Yen province.
In terms of scale, the main bridge spanning the Red River will be approximately 680 meters long and over 32 meters wide, accommodating six lanes for motor vehicles and two mixed lanes. The approach viaducts will be approximately 6.52 km long and 33 meters wide. The approach road on the Hung Yen side will be about 300 meters long and 33 meters wide.
The total investment for the Ngọc Hồi Bridge project is over VND 11,800 billion.
A Bridge with a Unique Architectural Design
Earlier in mid-April, the Hanoi People’s Committee approved the competition results for the architectural design of the Ngọc Hồi Bridge. The “Sun Gate” proposal, submitted by the Joint Stock Company for Bridge and Tunnel Design Consultancy, was awarded first place. This design not only excels in technical aspects but also carries profound cultural and aesthetic significance.

With its east-west orientation, the Ngọc Hồi Bridge will offer unique views of the sunrise and sunset throughout the year.
The bridge’s alignment with the sun’s path will create breathtaking moments when the sun rises and sets directly along its axis.
The “Sun Gate” concept embraces the unique solar phenomenon, welcoming and bidding farewell to the sun each day.
The letter “H” is subtly incorporated into the bridge’s architecture, symbolizing the harmony and cooperation between Hanoi and Hung Yen.
The overall form of the bridge is defined by bold, streamlined contours, with the vertical piers, horizontal deck, and diagonal suspension cables creating a balanced and robust composition.
The bridge’s lighting design includes specially inclined street lamps that echo the suspension cables, creating a radiant sunburst effect. The bridge’s railings will also feature sun-inspired motifs, further emphasizing the “Sun Gate” concept.
