Here is a photo of the Can Tho Bridge a few days before it opened. I was fortunate to ride it the next day when I left Can Tho for travel and home. The story behind the bridge is that it was suppose to be completed a couple years ago, but then suddenly one side of the bridge collapsed killing at least 50 people. The completion marked a huge milestone and there was a huge celebration to commemorate the occasion. 

Unfortunately the first and only time I got to cross the bridge I witnessed the aftermath of a truck accident since it went around a turn way too quickly. I also learned the following week that a couple went to the bridge to commit suicide where the man jumped and the girl was too frightened she backed out of it.
