A distinctive design, a new symbol of the city
Thu Thiem Bridge 2 is designed as a gateway to the new urban area. It is an asymmetrical concrete structure with a main span of 200 metres and a back span of 115 metres. The stay cables support a 27-metre wide concrete deck with 6 traffic lanes and pedestrian and two-wheelers on both sides.
The ratio between the main and back spans, as well as the inclination of the 113-metre-high pylon, which elegantly leans towards the new urban area, provide a particularly balanced design. There is no doubt that this beautiful structure will become a new landmark of the city of Ho Chi Minh.
