Hiền Lương Bridge (Vietnamese: Cầu Hiền Lương) is a bridge over Bến Hải River, Vĩnh Linh District, Quảng Trị Province, North Central Coast, Việt Nam. This bridge is located in 17th Parallel and in Vietnam War, it was bisected between South Vietnam and North Vietnam from 1954 to 1976.[1] American bombs destroyed the first Hien Luong Bridge in 1967 and again destroyed it in 1970. At the time, it was painted half red and half yellow as a symbol of the ideological and physical division between North and South Vietnam. In 1973, an iron girder bridge was built and reopened following reunification in 1975. The current bridge was built in 1999.[2]
