Cần Giờ Bridge
Can Gio Bridge (), is a planned cable-stayed bridge to cross over Soài Rạp, a tributary of the Saigon River in Vietnam. Description Planning and Design In order to drive between the Nha Be district and Can Gio District in Ho Chi Minh City, motorists currently have to go through the Binh Khanh Ferry Terminal, which has been receiving increasing amounts of traffic and subsequent delays. Trips across the Soai Rap river could take from fifteen to forty five minutes to cross a 1.2 kilometer span. Since 2007, there were discussions on replacing the Binh Khanh ferrys with a road cable-stayed bridge that would span the Soai Rap river.

Canals
Canals or artificial waterways are waterways or engineered channels built for drainage management (e.g. flood control and irrigation) or for conveyancing water transport vehicles (e.g. water taxi). They carry free, calm surface flow under atmospheric pressure, and can be thought of as artificial rivers. In most cases, a canal has a series of dams and locks that create reservoirs of low speed current flow. These reservoirs are referred to as ''slack water levels'', often just called ''levels''. A canal can be called a navigation canal when it parallels a natural river and shares part of the latter's discharges and drainage basin, and leverages its resources by building dams and locks to increase and lengthen its stretches of slack water levels while staying in its valley. A canal can cut across a drainage divide atop a ridge, generally requiring an external water source above the highest elevation. The best-known example of such a canal is the Panama Canal.
