Cầu DakBla (Thành phố Kon Tum)

 interesting place, bridge
Both of the contemporary photos were taken in late September 2007. The wartime photo of the deck of the co-called South Bridge may date from 1970--certainly before 1972, when two of its spans were blown up during the Battle of Kontum. Note, of course, the huge trees on the town side of the Dak Bla. Sadly, most of them are gone, felled when the Hotel Indochine was built.

First two photos on the left by J. Michener.
