In particular, Provincial Road 827E is identified as the driving axis connecting Ho Chi Minh City - Long An - Tien Giang. The locality is focusing on completing procedures to divide the investment phase of the approach road project and 3 bridges across the Can Giuoc, Vam Co Dong, and Vam Co Tay rivers. For the project of 03 bridges on Provincial Road 827E, the Government has approved the project proposal using foreign preferential loans (ODA) with a total investment of about 4,797 billion VND. With its scale and high technical requirements, this project is suitable for the capacity and experience of pioneering construction technology corporations such as Sotelanche Freyssinet Group. Cooperation with experienced partners helps ensure project progress and quality, promote the application of advanced technologies, contribute to upgrading transport infrastructure, create momentum for economic development and regional connectivity. When put into operation, the projects not only ensure economic efficiency, but also contribute to the formation of iconic traffic works, building a distinct image of the province.
