Construction of the magnificent technical and architectural structure began in March 2009 and its invested cost of VND13,600 billion has been principally sourced from Japan Government’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) and ancillary state capital.
It is controlled by the management board PMU 85 under Vietnam’s Ministry of Transport.
