Dong Nai 2 Bridge: An 11.5 trillion VND project connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai Province.

With a total investment of nearly 11,500 billion VND, the Dong Nai 2 bridge, nearly 10km long, will be implemented in the 2026-2028 period, playing a key role in reducing traffic congestion and serving Long Thanh airport.

The People's Council of Dong Nai province has approved a Resolution on the investment policy for the Long Hung Bridge project, also known as Dong Nai 2 Bridge, under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, specifically a Build-Transfer (BT) contract. This decision was made at the 8th session held on December 10, 2025.

Size and specifications

The Dong Nai 2 Bridge project is classified as a Group A project, a special-grade bridge and road construction project, with a total estimated investment of nearly 11,500 billion VND. The funds for payment to the investor are expected to come from the proceeds of auctioning public land or from public investment capital.

The total length of the project is approximately 9.8 km, of which the Dong Nai 2 bridge section is about 3.5 km long. The bridge's cross-section is designed to be 36 m wide, allowing vehicles to travel at a design speed of 80 km/h, meeting the increasing traffic demands in the area.

Strategic location and infrastructure connectivity

The Dong Nai 2 Bridge occupies a strategically important location connecting two major economic centers in the South. The project's starting point is located in Long Phuoc ward (Ho Chi Minh City), and the end point connects directly to the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway in Tam Phuoc ward and An Phuoc commune (Dong Nai province).

Upon completion, the project will create a new connecting axis, significantly reducing congestion on existing major traffic routes such as National Highway 51 and the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway, while also enhancing infrastructure capacity to serve Long Thanh International Airport when it becomes operational.

Investment progress and form

The project is expected to be implemented between 2026 and 2028. Due to its urgency and importance, the selection of the investor will be conducted under special circumstances. Currently, an investor has already proposed undertaking the project.

The resolution of the Dong Nai Provincial People's Council also requires the investor to reduce the BT contract value by at least 5% to ensure the economic efficiency of the project. The implementation of the project is expected to boost economic growth, urban development, and enhance the competitiveness of Dong Nai, Ho Chi Minh City, and the entire Southern key economic region.
