HÀ NỘI — Three designs for Trần Hưng Đạo Bridge, which will cross the Red River and connect three urban districts of the capital, are being exhibited in an Exhibition House on Đinh Tiên Hoàng Street, Hà Nội for public feedback and opinion.
Based on the community's opinion, the Hà Nội Department of Planning and Architecture will submit designs of the bridge to the city for consideration and approval.
Earlier, the authorities opened a design contest for the bridge. There were 20 eligible entries from 12 domestic and foreign consulting and design companies. Three of them were selected to be exhibited and open for public opinion.
The number one design, Design No. 12, combines an ancient and modern Hà Nội on the two sides of the Red River. It features curving waves in the bridge dome, symbolising endless connection.
