According to Thanh Nien , at this time, Nguyen Hoang Bridge has been basically completed. After 2 years of construction, the bridge has been paved with asphalt, the walkway has been paved with red bricks, the railing system and lights have been installed, and it is ready to "finish" on time... Most notably, the royal parasol lighting system has just been erected.

Mr. Truong Phuoc Thanh, Director of Thanh Ngan Company Limited (the contractor for the lighting and art system of Nguyen Hoang Bridge) said that all 60 parasols installed on the bridge are cast from galvanized steel and painted with electrostatic paint. The lamp posts are made of steel, so they can withstand all weather conditions very well, almost forever.

According to Mr. Thanh, in addition to this parasol lighting system, this unit also installed a color-changing dome lighting system, operating according to many scenarios for the lighting system, a color-changing lighting system for the cable-stayed bridge, a color-changing lighting system under the bridge and the general movement of the entire bridge.

"We are building many scenarios for normal days, festivals, special events... Regarding many concerns that these temple umbrellas are difficult to withstand storms and are easy to collapse, the investor has carefully calculated from the design stage to the examination and appraisal stage. As for the design stage, after completing the design, we sent the drawings to Hapulico Urban Lighting and Equipment Company Limited, one of the leading companies in Vietnam in the production of lighting poles," said Mr. Thanh.

Accordingly, the entire system of 60 parasol lights is made of galvanized steel and electrostatically painted, ensuring durability. Currently, the construction unit also invited an independent assessment unit, Da Nang University of Technology, to assess the quality, so they are completely assured of the storm resistance of this parasol light system.

According to the representative of the unit constructing this lighting system, in addition to the parasol lighting system, Nguyen Hoang Bridge also uses a color-changing dome lighting system, which can create many scenarios for the lighting system, suitable for each time, context and festival service. Color-changing lighting technology is also installed synchronously for the cable-stayed system and under the bridge.

In addition to being equipped with a system of parasols and lighting to meet decorative and artistic needs, Nguyen Hoang Bridge is also equipped with a separate, modern traffic lighting system.

The bridge is a steel arch bridge 380 m long and over 20 m high. When open to traffic, the bridge will be able to clear a minimum of 30 m wide and 6 m high boats. The bridge has 6 lanes and a 3 m wide pedestrian lane. The starting point is on Nguyen Hoang Street in Kim Long Ward, Phu Xuan District, and the ending point is on Bui Thi Xuan Street in Duc Ward, Thuan Hoa District.
