Thien Truong bridge in northern Nam Dinh province was officially open to traffic on May 19 after two years of construction, connecting the province’s Nam Dinh city with the new Nam Dinh – Lac Quan road.

The project has a total investment capital of VND1.2 trillion ($45.9 million).

The total length of the bridge and the two approaching roads is 1.6 km.

This is one of key projects expected to help boost the province’s socio-economic development, according to Nam Dinh city’s People’s Committee.

The project will enhance the connectivity between the urban center with the southern region of Nam Dinh city and open up new development space for urban, industrial and commercial services areas in the region.
