Ong Cop Bridge (Cau Ong Cop)

The bridge named Ong Cop (Tiger God) was built in 1999 with a total cost of more than 1 billion VND (approximately 65.000 USD at that time). It was built as a shortcut linking villages in the north of An Ninh Tay in Thuy An district with Song Cau town, crosses Binh Ba River. The locals named the bridge “Ong Cop” because they worship a shrine nearby to cure diseases and drive evil away. With a length of over 800 meters, this is the longest wooden bridge in Vietnam and perhaps the whole world.
