The bridge, connecting Vietnam’s Tay Ninh province and Cambodia’s Prey Veng and Kampong Cham provinces, took shape in April 2013 with a total investment of VND44 billion (US$2.2 million) sourced from Tay Ninh’s budget.
The whole project includes the bridge - 77.28 metres long and 8 metres wide - and a 1.5 kilometre section of road connecting the border belt.
Once operational, the bridge is expected to encourage cross-border trade between people along the border, contributing to the region’s economic development and cultural growth, as well as maintaining security and defence in the area.
