Unfortunately, the local bus just works till 17.50, so you only can do this transportation at the day time. Get on the bus, mention the to the ticket money collector (they don’t sell the ticket, you just need pay to somebody) that your stop is Cham museum, then you just walk around 3 minute, and can see the bridge on your right side.
If you want to ride your motorbike there, head to An Bang highway (near An Bang beach), go straight till you see a seafood restaurant named “Thanh Hien” on your left side, go slowly to the roundabout then turn left, go along Vo Van Kiet road, skip the next roundabout, and here our dragon is.
