Completion of My Thuan Bridge Project - Vietnam

The successful completion of the My Thuan Bridge is a major symbol of the cooperation between the Governments of Vietnam and Australia in furthering Vietnam's development.

The bridge, the first across the Mekong River in Vietnam, has been a dream of the people of southern Vietnam for many years. With over 16 million people living south of the river it has always been a major barrier to progress. The opening up of access to this area will be a major economic boost.
