“A bridge by any other name?” a local vendor asked, laughing. “Here at Cầu Ông Đổi, it seems we can’t quite decide!” We stood at the bridge, spanning the canal between District 4 and District 7 in Ho Chi Minh City. It’s officially called Cầu Kênh Tẻ, but signs declare it Cầu Ông Đổi. One side proclaims a length of 33.05 meters and a width of 14 meters. Another sign gives different dimensions entirely: 432 meters long and 12 meters wide. This Cầu Ông Đổi, despite its identity crisis, plays a vital role in the city’s bustling traffic flow. It connects two districts, carrying the constant stream of motorbikes, cars, and people across the water. Imagine the chaos if this bridge suddenly disappeared. The separation, the disruption, the frustrated honking! It’s a testament to the often-overlooked importance of these concrete and steel connectors in our urban lives.
