The Tan Lang bridge is 253 m long and 22,5 m wide, constructed using prestressed reinforced concrete with the balanced cantilever method. Its architectural highlight is two symmetrically placed observation towers. These tall, airy towers, topped with dark tiled roofs, create a visual landmark and offer expansive views along both banks of the Day River.
This structure not only shortens travel distances for riverside residents but also enhances transport infrastructure, stimulating local socioeconomic development.

Approximately 60 km away, in Hoa Lu ward, another bridge is under construction across the Trang An River, with a total investment of nearly 180 ty VND. This project is designed to integrate both traffic and landscape viewing.
The bridge consists of two parallel sections, separated by 11,8 m. Each section is 16,5 m wide, featuring a 10,5 m carriageway, one-meter-wide railings on both sides, and a 5 m sidewalk on one side.

Between the two sections, the investor has placed a pedestrian bridge combined with an observation tower, measuring 12,8 m x 12,8 m. This area serves as a rest stop and scenic viewpoint for pedestrians. Additionally, underpasses at both ends of the bridge connect to the riverside promenade, creating a continuous movement space.
With its integrated design of transport infrastructure and experiential space, the Trang An bridge is expected to be completed in 2027. It is anticipated to become a new landmark, serving residents and tourists traveling between key tourist areas like Trang An and Tam Coc - Bich Dong.
