Bridge linking Vinh Phuc and Phu Tho inaugurated

ABO/NDO- A ceremony was held on August 30 to inaugurate Vinh Phuc Bridge, which links the two provinces of Vinh Phu and Phu Tho across the Lo River.

The 540-billion-VND (22.4-million-USD) bridge, whose construction began in December 2021, has total length of 509 metres, featuring four lanes.

Leaders of Vinh Phuc and Phu Tho Provinces visit the new bridge.

The bridge connects Phu Tho’s Viet Tri City with Vinh Phuc’s Song Lo District at the site of the current Duc Bac Wharf, which is expected to shorten the travel time and promote economic exchange between the two provinces and throughout the wider region.

Nguyen Van Viet, a Phu Tho resident, said the bridge is highly significant to the people of both provinces as they no longer need to wait for the ferry.
