Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Cao Lãnh Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the Tiền River, a branch of the Mekong River at Cao Lãnh in Vietnam. The bridge is one of three components of the planned Central Mekong Delta Connectivity Project (CMDCP). The other two components are the Vàm Cống Bridge at Vàm Cống and the 4 lane expressway connecting the two bridges. The Cao Lanh Bridge was inaugurated on 27 May 2018.
Design
The cable-stayed bridge is 650 metres (2,130 ft) long with a central span of 350 metres (1,150 ft) and a maximum clearance above high water level of 37.5 metres (123 ft). The total length of the bridge, including the approach viaducts, is 2,010 metres (6,590 ft) with spans of 17 x 40 + (150+350+150) + 17x40 (m). It has H-shape towers 120 metres (390 ft) high, cast in situ concrete girder superstructure with a double-plane of cables in a semi-fan type configuration. It carries four lanes for traffic. The maximum speed on the bridge will be 80Km/h.
The objective of the Central Mekong Delta Connectivity Project is to encourage the economic and social development of the Cửu Long Delta area. The project was developed with the financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Government of Australia. It is jointly funded by the governments of Australia and Vietnam, and the ADB. The bridge was the largest overseas assistance project undertaken by the Australian government costing A$160 million.
Construction
The groundbreaking ceremony for the Cao Lanh Bridge, was held on 19 October 2013 and attended by senior officials from the Vietnamese and Australian Governments and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The bridge was expected to be completed after 43 months in mid-2017 but was delayed.
The opening of the bridge, held on 27 May 2018, was attended by Vietnam Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, Vietnam Minister for Transport Nguyen Van The, ADB Country Director Eric Sidgwick and senior officials from ministries, cities and provinces.
