Da Nang City, Vietnam

The Han River Bridge is the first swing bridge in Vietnam and is a source of great pride for the Da Nang people as it symbolizes their rising aspirations.

The bridge is 487.7 meters long, 11.9 meters wide, and includes 11 spans at 33 meters long each.

At the stroke of midnight every weekends, vehicles are stopped from crossing the Han River Bridge for about 15-20 minutes in order for it to swing on its axis and allow shipping vehicles to pass along the river.
