With total investment amounting to nearly VND 310 billion (USD 13.7 million), the facility is 267.6m long and 16m wide, with four traffic lanes.
The flyover, whose lifespan is designed to reach 100 years, allows vehicles to travel at 60km/h.
The transport infrastructure project was completed after a record construction time of seven months.
Considered one of the most heavily congested spots in Hai Phong, the Nguyen Binh Khiem - Le Hong Phong intersection connects two major roads of the city. Nguyen Binh Khiem is part of the national highway No.5 through the local urban area, while Le Hong Phong is the main road to Cat Bi International Airport.
