Mr. Nguyen Vinh Ninh - Deputy Director of the HCM City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board, the project investor - said that the Vam Sat 2 Bridge Construction Investment Project has a total investment of 343 billion VND. The bridge is 1,080m long, of which the bridge section is 434m, the approach road is 646m, and the cross-section is 10m.
When completed, the project will ensure traffic requirements, connecting Ly Nhon commune with other localities, creating a premise for socio-economic development, tourism and traffic connection for Ly Nhon commune in particular and contributing to completing the traffic infrastructure system for Can Gio district in general.

The investor started the construction of Vam Sat 2 Bridge in March 2018. However, due to the lack of land clearance, construction had to be suspended from December 2019 to October 2022.
At this time, the People's Committee of Can Gio District, the Compensation and Site Clearance Board of Can Gio District, and the entire district political system have resolutely taken action with the support and companionship of the investor and construction units, removing obstacles, listening to and mobilizing the people. From there, 100% of the site was handed over for the investor to continue construction.
People giving up land for project receive reward
"We hope that the joy and confidence from the recent construction of Long Kieng Bridge and Vam Sat 2 Bridge today will be replicated and spread to other traffic works waiting for land such as Long Bridge in Thu Duc, Ba Hom Bridge in Binh Tan and roads such as Tan Ky Tan Quy, Luong Dinh Cua, Duong Quang Ham, Provincial Road 8 and some other traffic works... to continue to have projects completed ahead of schedule, after 100% of the land is handed over in the near future" - Mr. Ninh said.
The degraded Vam Sat 1 Bridge lies parallel to Vam Sat 2 Bridge.
Mr. Nguyen Van Hong - Chairman of Can Gio District People's Committee, expressed his joy when Vam Sat 2 bridge opened to traffic.
Excitedly attending the opening ceremony early, 84-year-old Ly Thi Dang from Ly Nhon commune said her family had moved to make way for the project. Seeing the newly built bridge, her children and grandchildren could travel more conveniently and safely, she was very happy.
According to him, the new bridge, located parallel to the degraded Vam Sat 1 bridge, will help effectively exploit Ly Nhon road axis, connecting traffic between Ly Nhon commune and Can Gio district center and the city center, contributing to socio-economic development for the people of Ly Nhon commune in particular and Can Gio district in general.
"We deeply thank the households who agreed and shared the land for the project to pass through. Especially the 24 households directly affected. We will work with the investor to use and promote the effectiveness of this project," said Mr. Hong.
