Efforts made to build Tinh Huc bridge

TQO - Workers have taken turns working on all three shifts in August regardless of the weather in an attempt to construct the Tinh Huc bridge as scheduled.

The construction of the Tinh Huc bridge

The bridge will measure 907.6 m in length and 16.5 m in width, with four lanes. It will also have sidewalks for pedestrians. There will be some expanded locations of the sidewalk to serve as a pit stop for pedestrians to enjoy the view. The approach road to the bridge is 7.5m wide. The project has a total investment of VND852 billion (US$36.63 million).

This is the largest bridge in the northern province of Tuyen Quang, built with modern technologies. The entire bridge is equipped with a LED lighting system that is programmed to automatically change colour.

The bridge is a significant project towards improving local infrastructure and expanding Tuyen Quang city on both sides of the Lo River in addition to tapping tourism - service potential and meeting travel and transport demand for socio-economic development. It is also expected to reduce the load on the Nong Tien bridge, which has deteriorated, contributing significantly to building Tuyen Quang city into a second-class city.
