More about “Truong Tien”
The bridge was built by the French contractor Société Schneider et Cie et Letellier (which is still operating today as Schneider Electric SA).
Interestingly, the Société de Levallois-Perret (a contractor that participated in the bidding but did not win), once had Gustave Eiffel as its president.
In 1937, the bridge underwent a major restoration (due to damage from wartime bombing), and the company that won the bid was the contemporary company of Gustave Eiffel.
Trường Tiền Bridge has had different names throughout history:
- Thanh Thai (name of the Thanh Thai King of the Nguyen Dynasty)
- Clemenceau (a French Prime Minister during the First World War)
- Nguyen Hoang (The Nguyen lord who explored the central region between the 16th and early 17th century)
- Trường Tiền as the bridge was located near a coin casting factory during the Nguyen Dynasty
