The bridge has a height of up to 87m from the water's surface to the top of the steel arch and is the highest steel arch bridge in Vietnam at the moment.

When the bridge spans are reflected in the river, they resemble a classic Quan Ho hat. The architectural shape of the bridge has 5 bearing arches bearing the image of a pair of dragons in the Ly Dynasty, a soft and flexible S-shaped coiled dragon body playing on the water, in the middle of the arch is a pair of dragons raised high, symmetrically across the pearl representing the moon and the sun.
