The architectural design’s plan of the bridge connected with Tran Hoang Na Street was proposed by Transport Engineering Design Inc. – TEDI (278 Ton Duc Thang, Dong Da, Ha Noi). From the idea “Spreading of the birds’ wings”, the bridge has the symbol of the birds spreading their wings which demonstrate the growing, dynamism and development of Can Tho city. The circular arch has the changeable cross-sectional dimensions to create the elegance of the bridge. The paint color will be selected reflecting with the light aims to create the feeling of open space when going on the river. The cables will be designed diagonally following the circular arch in harmony with the architecture. The lower arch will be designed irregularly like angles creating a strong part in contrast to the softness above. It is both simple and mordern.
The architectural design’s plan of the bridge connected with Tran Hoang Na Street has the total construction investment amount of about VND670 billion and the construction time is about 22 months. This plan is not only ensuring the transportation in the streets, on the river and the stability of the structure to adapt the standards of designing but also creating the urban beauty and the architectural mark on the river, in the park, in the street to attract tourists.
