The Chương Dương bridge is now open to traffic.

VHO - On June 30, 1985, the Chuong Duong Bridge - the first large steel bridge designed and constructed entirely by Vietnamese people - was officially opened to traffic. Throughout the years, June 30th has also marked many significant events, from the birth of an important political organization to geopolitical shifts and iconic works and projects.

The Vietnam Democratic Party was officially established.

According to the Nhan Dan newspaper, on June 30, 1944, the Vietnam Democratic Party was founded in accordance with the policy of the Indochinese Communist Party to unite intellectuals, the national bourgeoisie, and patriotic classes to participate in the cause of national liberation.

Immediately after its establishment, the Vietnam Democratic Party joined the Viet Minh Front, contributing to the defeat of the Japanese fascists' and puppet regime's attempts to win over intellectuals and the bourgeoisie.

Following the August Revolution of 1945, this organization continued to stand alongside the Communist Party of Vietnam in the two resistance wars as well as the process of national reconstruction.

In July 1988, after the country was unified and its historical mission was completed, the Vietnam Democratic Party voluntarily announced its dissolution.

The Chương Dương bridge is now open to traffic.

On June 30, 1985, the Chuong Duong Bridge was officially opened to traffic after nearly two years of construction. This was the first large steel bridge designed, manufactured, and constructed entirely by Vietnamese engineers and workers, marking an important milestone in the maturity of the country's bridge and road construction industry.

The bridge, over 1.2 km long and nearly 20 m wide, connects the former Hoan Kiem District with the former Long Bien District, helping to alleviate pressure on the Long Bien Bridge and expand development space towards the east of Hanoi. In the context of a country still facing many difficulties after the war, the completion of this project held special significance, demonstrating the Vietnamese people's mastery of science and technology.

Even today, despite the addition of many modern bridges to the capital, the Chuong Duong Bridge remains a symbol of self-reliance and resilience, and a cherished memory for generations of Hanoians .
