The Nhat Tan Bridge was built with Japan’s Official Development Assistance and the Vietnamese Government’s reciprocal capital. It is of great economic, political and social significance as it connects Hanoi to industrial parks in the north and helps reduce the distance from the capital city to Noi Bai International Airport. When put into operation in January 2015, the Nhat Tan Bridge, which has a total length of 8.95km and a width of 33.2m with four lanes and pedestrian sidewalks, will become a cable-stayed bridge with the largest number of spans in Southeast Asia.

Standing on the bridge, Nguyen Ngoc Van Thao, a student of class 8C at Thuc Nghiem Secondary School said: “The visit helps me understand more about the assistance of the Japanese Government and its people for Vietnam to build this modern bridge. I hope it will be durable and as everlasting as the Vietnamese and Japanese friendship.”
