BRIDGES OF VIETNAM

By: NGUYEN MINH_TÂM ( Tom Premo)

ThiXa Go Cong, Tien Giang Province

A suspension bridge is to be built in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam that is similar to the My Thuan bridge near Can Tho that was funded by Australia and built by an Australian company and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge raised by Bechtel. The bridge is to be funded by the USA and will be built by an American company. The bridge will cross the SongVamCau river which is used by ocean going vessels traveling from the South China Sea to HoChiMinh City(HCMC)/Saigon. It will be at the site of the MyLoi/CauNoi Ferry/ Photos which is about 45KM southeast of HCMC/Saigon between HCMC and GoCong in TienGiang Province and is 2KM from Tom's TÔM(Shrimp) Farm and 18KM from his Vietnam Home, the Whitehouse East, in GoCong. This is a project that the Vietnamese government finds interesting and local residents are also expecting action; however, it may not start until the year 2008.

MINH_TÂM (Roy Thomas (TOM) Premo, Jr.) worked in Vietnam with RMK-BRJ and USAID (1966-1973); in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia with Bechtel (1974-1985); see his World Travel Webpage. MINH_TÂM considers himself to be a Viet-Kieu (Vietnamese Living Abroad) and now that he is retired he spends one-half of the year in Vietnam and the rest in the USA.

MINH_TÂM lives in Go Cong, Tien Giang Province, Vietnam and he travels around the city by Cyclo (Pedicab). MINH_TÂM has a regular routine each day that includes working on the internet at NgocHuy and having beef soup (Pho) at XuanThang, his favorite restaurant in Go Cong; see MAP By MINH_TÂM's cyclo driver and Photos of Go Cong By MINH_TÂM | Minh Chau.
