Philips Lighting, a global leader in lighting, announced the completion of Hanoi’s latest luminous landmark, the Nhật Tân Bridge.

An Urban Icon—In Techni-color

Each night, the new lighting system bathes the bridge in a prism of colors, turning the structure into an ever-changing work of art. The new architectural lighting illuminates the five majestic spans, along with the cables that run high above the bridge.

Now, all who cross Hanoi’s Red River are met with the Nhật Tân Bridge’s five colorful spans, which symbolize the five ancient gates to this capital city. The bridge, built in 2015, is currently Vietnam’s longest “cable-stayed” bridge, a technological advance over the suspension bridge. A vital, visible link between Hanoi and its main airport, the newly illuminated Nhật Tân Bridge is already attracting tourists and locals alike.
