Read moreThe Long Biên Bridge, formerly known as the Paul-Doumer Bridge, is an iconic bridge in the Long Bien district of Hanoi, Vietnam. Built between 1898 and 1903 by the French firm Daydé & Pillé, it enables the North-South railway line to cross the Red River and continue on to Lào Cai and Yunnan in China. The cantilever bridge is 1,682 m long, 13.5 m high and 30 m deep. It is characterized by its nineteen spans based on cantilever beams and by the two crosswalks on either side of the central railroad line. The Long Biên Bridge was badly damaged during the Vietnam War, but consolidation work was carried out to preserve it. Today, it is a place of remembrance for the people of Hanoi, who inscribe their names on it. The bridge is accessible to pedestrians and cyclists, but the roadway added in 1923 is no longer in use.
