For more than 20 years, WSP Finland has been involved in Vietnam in many different projects including bridges. The company has designed the Binh (completed in 2005) and Rao II (2012) Bridges in Hai Phong and the beautiful Tran Thi Ly Bridge in Da Nang (2013). At the moment WSP Finland is working on the Thu Thiem II Bridge at the very center of Ho Chi Minh City.
