The new Phong Chau Bridge has a total length of nearly 653m, ensuring 4 lanes for motor vehicles. The bridge was constructed using reinforced concrete beams and prestressed reinforced concrete.
The main bridge consists of 3 continuous girder spans, balanced cantilever, reinforced concrete abutments and piers, and bored pile foundation. The road connecting the two ends of the bridge ensures the scale of a level III plain road, with a design speed of 80km/h.
