A closure joint installed into Hai Phong's Hoang Gia bridge project

A closure joint has been installed into Hoang Gia bridge project in the northern port city of Hai Phong, marking an important milestone in connecting the city center with Vu Yen island.

The four-lane bridge, spanning Cam river, is 2.2km long and 21m wide.

Total investment capital is estimated at VND2.3 trillion ($89.5 million).

The bridge is scheduled to open to traffic in August this year. 

Once fully operational, the bridge will help to shorten travelling time between the city center and Vu Yen island to five minutes.
