Nam Ky Khoi Nghia

Where does the Nam Ky Khoi Nghia cross?

it crosses Nhieu Loc canal....right next to the Vinh Nghiem pagoda
this pic is only part of the whole expanding NKKN street, curently it being expanded from 20m to 30m....orginal plan was 40m, but the compensation cost were too much so they cut down.

if I might add, this bridge I saw on TV in VN was really nice, with 4 circular wings leading down to the streets below.....unlike cau ong lanh bridge just go straight.

and unlike the 9 terrible mass built bridges they put up along the canal while i was there.....all 9 bridges looked like they belong to disney world, they painted the concrete part yellow, and the wrought iron Blue...and 8 bridges standing right next to each other, only 1 stands alone...

That Thu Tiem bridge seems kind of low... and I thought I would see pics! OK, so here are some pics of the Thu Tiem bridge to go with the thread title:

It does seems very low to me too...but then im assume that this bridge will be open in times when all the majors ports are relocated...which in turn major ships dont need to come in this deep

then again...that bridge should be redesign...as a major bridge connecting the new urban area and district one (?) its architecture shoould at least be aesthetically pleasing.

fact: saigon has around 800 bridges.
unfortunately all 800 are ugly so they made no point.

they said the design of Thu thuem bridge had improved, and it looks very nice (to commie official I think)

and phu my bridge looks exactly like My Thuan bridge.....ya know there are many designs for cable bridge .....those poles could be "a" or Y", or gothic vaulted like the brooklyn, multi levels like the golden gate or criss cross like the one in Hong Kong......too bad they think the My Thuan is cool so they replicate it to Phu My bridge.

many bridges built by the french in VN are so nice, unfortunately they're all so small so many of them were destroyed, or being expanded so they lost their original beauty

this is one of the 9 uglaaaaa bridges they put up along the canal
