Construction has been underway for more than a year on Hanoi’s Trần Hưng Đạo and Tứ Liên bridges. Work completed on Trần Hưng Đạo Bridge has reached 54.2% of its contract value, with completion required before June 30, 2027.

Construction has been underway for more than a year on Hanoi’s Trần Hưng Đạo and Tứ Liên bridges across the Red River, and their piers, towers and approach bridges are gradually taking shape. A November 6, 2026, report by the Hanoi Department of Construction shows that the value of work completed on Trần Hưng Đạo Bridge has reached 54.2% of its contract value, the highest among the seven Red River bridge projects it monitors. The bridge and its connecting roads will extend about 4.18 kilometers, providing another route between central Hanoi and the eastern part of the city.

All 128 bored piles and seven pier foundations for the main span of Trần Hưng Đạo Bridge have been completed, and structural work on the five piers in the river is largely finished. Contractors are maintaining about 28 work sites, carrying out bridge, steel structure, approach bridge and connecting works at both ends simultaneously. Under the schedule set by Hanoi, the project must be completed before June 30, 2027.
By the end of October 2026, the cumulative value of work completed on Tứ Liên Bridge was about 26.85% of its contract value. Work is underway on the main bridge towers: six of 37 sections have been completed on pier P37, and five of 37 on pier P38. The contractor consortium has organized about 15 major work sites along the route.

Under the design, Tứ Liên Bridge’s main bridge will be 1,000 meters long, with a 500-meter main span and two 185-meter towers. Contractors aim to achieve a technical opening to traffic before September 2, 2027, and complete the project before the 2027 APEC meeting. The two bridges are expected to improve connections between the banks of the Red River and ease traffic pressure in Hanoi.
