Construction is underway for the $22 million China-Vietnam bridge link. Construction is underway for the $22 million bridge spanning The Red River, connecting China and Vietnam. The new Bat Xat-Ba Sa border will feature a cable-stayed design with three spans, a reinforced concrete deck and will be 230m in length. The two countries are both involved in the project and are sharing the cost of its construction, with completion expected in mid-2026. The bridge will link Basa in Hekou County in southwest Chinas Yunnan Province with the Bat Xat district in Vietnams Lao Cai Province. Although the cost of the bridge project is comparatively low, it is of key significance for transport and trade between the two nations. Once the link is complete it will be the fourth bridge for the Lao Cai border economic zone. The others are the Ho Kieu I, Ho Kieu II, and Kim Thanh bridges. |
