VietNamNet Bridge – With the weight of up to 1,000 tons, a
dragon-shaped arch bridge crossing the Han River in Da Nang City will be
registered for recognition as the World Guinness record and the "largest
steel dragon."
Mr. Phan Van Chuong, deputy
director of Da Nang Department of Transportation said the department has asked
Da Nang authorities for registering a world Guinness record for this work.
This is a steel arch bridge in a
dragon shape, which is the most unique and biggest in Vietnam and the world. After
the inauguration (scheduled on 29/03/2013, the 38th liberation anniversary of
Da Nang,) the bridge will look like a dragon that is breathing fire and water.
By design, the length of the
dragon body (concrete and steel dome) is more than 500 meters. The weight of
the steel arch is over 1,000 tons. Crossing the dragon body are five steel
pipes of 1.2 meter in diameter.
The dragon head and tail are 15m
long, 9m high from the beam. The dragon head is in the form of stone dragons of
the Ly Dynasty while its tail is designed as stylized lotus symbol.
The Dragon Bridge project was
kicked off in July 2009, with a total investment of VND1.5 trillion (over $7
million).
This is the 6th bridge over the
Han River, over 666m long, 37.5m wide, with six lanes.
