Mỹ Thuận Bridge

The Mỹ Thuận Bridge (Vietnamese: Cầu Mỹ Thuận) is a cable-stayed bridge over the Mekong river, connecting Cái Bè District of Tiền Giang Province with Vĩnh Long City of Vĩnh Long Province in Vietnam.

It was developed in a joint venture between the governments of Australia and Vietnam.

The bridge was the largest overseas assistance project undertaken by the Australian government costing A$91 million.

It was built by Baulderstone and completed in 2000.
