Mong Bridge (Vietnam)
From Graces Guide
The elegant Mong Bridge (Cầu Mống in Vietnamese, "Rainbow bridge") is a steel arch bridge across the Bến Nghé River in Ho Chi Minh City. Originally named Pont des Messageries maritimes, it was built in 1893-1894 by the French construction company Levallois Perret (the company formerly led by Gustave Eiffel) for the merchant shipping company Messageries maritimes, replacing a ferry route. The bridge was completely removed in 2005 during the construction of the Saigon River Tunnel and afterwards rebuilt, turning it from a road bridge into a footbridge.[1]
