Nguyễn Văn Trỗi Bridge Explained

Nguyen Van Troi Bridge is a bridge spanning the Han River in the city of Da Nang, Vietnam. The bridge was built by an American company in 1965.^{[1] [2]} Constructed by the American contractor RMK [<nowiki/>[[RMK-BRJ]]], the 513 meters bridge was the first bridge designed for vehicles crossing the Han River to transport weapons.^[3]

The bridge was reinforced in 1978 and 1996, allowing the bridge be vertically raised for boats to pass below,^{[4] [5]} and remained the only bridge prior to the Han River Bridge coming into operation in 2000.^[6]
