Ham Rong Bridge

Ham Rong Bridge

The historic Ham Rong Bridge is located on the North - South route of the "masterpiece" land of Thanh Hoa, charming mountains and water crossing the Ma River, with unique architecture, associated with the development history of the land. The heroic land of Thanh Hoa, the strong will of Thanh Hoa people. Ham Rong Bridge is the first bridge to cross the Ma River in Thanh Hoa, nearly 5km north of Thanh Hoa City center... This is also the only railway bridge to cross the Ma River by France. Built in 1904 in the style of a steel arch bridge without pillars, the most modern in Indochina at that time. In 1946, the bridge was destroyed according to the scorched earth resistance policy of the Viet Minh to stop the advance of the invaders. In 1963, the bridge was restored by Soviet and Chinese experts helping to design and construct it, becoming the current pier bridge, with a width of 17 meters, consisting of 2 steel girder spans, with a railway in the middle. , on both sides are car roads and pedestrian roads. During the escalating war against the North of our country, the US Air Force focused on raiding Ham Rong Bridge to cut off important traffic arteries and prevent support from the Northern rear to the major battlefield in the South. The destruction of Ham Rong was chosen by the White House and the Pentagon as the most important goal in the first war of sabotage in the North. With a plot to cut off North-South support, isolate Ham Rong and focus on completely defeating Ham Rong, at 8:45 a.m. on April 3, 1965, the first 16 American planes bombed the area. Thanh Hoa with a series of raiding locations such as Do Len bridge (Ha Trung), Cun bridge (Nong Cong), Van Trai station (Tinh Gia)... In just two days, April 3 and 4, 1965, the US military used 174 groups and 454 aircraft; threw 627 explosive bombs, 58 slow-explosive bombs (including types from 500 to 1,000kg), and hundreds of missiles and rockets into key areas of Thanh Hoa. In the Ham Rong - Nam Ngan - Yen Vuc area alone, the enemy dived 85 times, bombed and bombarded 80 times, threw 350 bombs, and fired 149 rocket shells. To protect Ham Rong Bridge, on our side, in a working session with the Standing Committee of the Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee in December 1967, comrade Le Duan affirmed: "If Military Region IV is important, then Thanh Hoa is important." especially because Thanh Hoa is the direct rear of the Binh - Tri - Thien and Laos fronts. Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee commented: "The key point of attacking the military zone at this time is Thanh Hoa, the key point of Thanh Hoa is Ham Rong, protecting Ham Rong bridge is to contribute to protecting smooth traffic." Due to the particularly important location of Ham Rong Bridge, at the North and South ends of the bridge there are two mountains, Ngoc Mountain and Dragon Mountain, which can block most falling bombs. After 2 days of stubborn fighting, Thanh Hoa shot down 47 American enemy planes, captured many enemy pilots, and protected the safety of Ham Rong Bridge. This has proven that the Party's people's war policy, the Party's military art and our people's revolutionary heroism have gone down in history as a legend that has stirred up American public opinion and made our friends love us. justice and peace around the world admired. Years passed. Ham Rong Bridge with the two words "Quyet Thang" majestically carved into the mountainside is a shining symbol of patriotism and revolutionary heroism of the Vietnamese people. For every child of Thanh Hoa, Ham Rong - Ma River is also the embodiment of the homeland, both close and familiar, very sacred and proud. Source: Thanh Hoa School of Politics
