[Photo] Phuoc An Bridge worth nearly 5,000 billion VND connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai is speeding up construction

Phuoc An Bridge project started construction in June 2023. The project has a total length of more than 4.7 km, with a clearance of 55 m, ensuring the passage of large tonnage ships.

The total investment capital is nearly 4,900 billion VND, implemented in the period of 2023 - 2026. According to the original plan, the bridge will be completed in mid-2027; however, thanks to mobilizing additional resources, it is expected to be technically opened to traffic at the end of 2026, about 6 months shorter than the schedule.

According to the reporter's observation, contractors continuously mobilized workers and construction equipment to speed up progress.

Many beam, pillar and foundation items have been completed ahead of schedule. Ho Chi Minh City is speeding up the progress of connecting infrastructure on both banks; Dong Nai is rushing to complete the ground and access roads to the bridge.

The bridge is designed with a main span in the shape of a sail, with a clearance height of 55 m.

When completed, Phuoc An Bridge will connect Cai Mep - Thi Vai port area with Ben Luc - Long Thanh expressway, contributing to forming a strategic freight transport axis, reducing pressure on National Highway 51 and creating momentum for logistics development in the Southeast region.
