Thuan An seaport overpass, part of the coastal road project of Hue City, started construction on March 26, 2022 with an investment of more than 3,400 billion VND.

Eagerly waiting for the wedding day

Coming to Thuan An these days, everyone is eagerly waiting for the day when the longest sea bridge in the Central region is completed. Mr. Phan Nan, an elder in Thai Duong Thuong village, Thuan An ward, Thuan Hoa district, looked up at each pillar of Thuan An sea bridge and smiled happily: "For the past 3 years, since the construction of this bridge, every day we have been waiting to walk on the new bridge."

Like Mr. Nan, many local people here understand that having a new bridge means more opportunities not only for more convenient transportation, but also opens up development opportunities for the land, especially the lagoon and coastal areas.

“The inauguration and opening of the Thuan An seaport overpass is not far away. This means that people will benefit greatly from this key bridge. The distance between people on both banks of Thuan An and Hai Duong is getting closer; opening up opportunities to attract investment and develop the local economy along the coast and lagoon,” said Mr. Tran Van Vinh, Secretary of the Hai Tien residential group, Thuan An ward.

When the Thuan An seaport overpass is completed and put into use, not only the people of Thuan An ward will benefit, but the coastal communes: Phu Thuan, Phu Hai, Phu Dien, Vinh Xuan, Vinh Thanh, Quang Cong, Quang Ngan will have more opportunities to exploit tourism , services, resorts and commerce. The lives of people in coastal and lagoon areas will be constantly improved.

Mr. Nguyen Van Cuong, Deputy Director of the Hue City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board - the project investor said: After the jointing, the Thuan An seaport overpass will be technically open to traffic on the occasion of the National Day on September 2. With a majestic appearance and modern architecture, after the Tu Hien seaport overpass (Phu Loc), the Thuan An seaport overpass is a key traffic project across the remaining large and complex seaport of Hue City.

50 years since the liberation of the homeland and the country, the appearance of the city and the lives of people in the coastal and lagoon areas of Thuan An, Hai Duong and the coastal and lagoon communes in Hue City are now different from before. Many construction works have sprung up everywhere. Connecting the vast seas and lagoons are bridges that have the appearance of a modern city.

Secretary of Thuan An Ward Party Committee Ngo Van Du excitedly said: “Thuan An and Hai Duong have become one. Hai Duong merging into Thuan An Ward is an important political event to create momentum for the common development of the locality. Thuan An seaport overpass opens up many favorable opportunities for the locality to invite investors to develop coastal tourism and services.”

Thuan An seaport overpass is part of the coastal road project of Hue City, started on March 26, 2022 with an investment of more than 3,400 billion VND; of which, Thuan An bridge (phase 1) is 2,400 billion VND. The bridge is more than 2.36km long, designed with a height to ensure that ships with a tonnage of more than 5,000 tons can enter and exit Thuan An port conveniently and safely. The project is a highlight, creating traffic connections between coastal and lagoon areas in Hue City.

New impetus for development

April has come, traveling on the regional connecting routes, watching the bridges "connecting the happy shores" breaking through and crossing the sea, we feel more clearly the development of the transportation system in the city. This has been creating a strong attraction for investors and businesses; continuing to create momentum for the coastal and lagoon areas of Hue City to strive for sustainable development.

Together with Thuan An sea bridge, the coastal road from Phong Dien town to Phu Loc district has a total length of 127km, connecting with National Highway 49B along with Hoa Xuan, Truong Ha, Tu Hien, Tam Giang (Ca Cut) bridges... breaking through and crossing the sea in the area, creating a complete traffic system running along the coast from North to South; connecting and sustainably developing between regions and localities throughout Hue city; shortening the distance between coastal communes. After completion, the coastal road and the bridge across Thuan An estuary will reduce the load on the North-South traffic routes, opening up many new opportunities.

Mr. Le Anh Tuan, Director of the Department of Construction, said: In 2024, the Provincial People's Committee (now Hue City) approved the investment project for the bridge over Tam Giang lagoon, connecting Phu Da town to Vinh Xuan commune (Phu Vang) with a total investment of more than 1,000 billion VND. The project is expected to start construction in 2026 and be completed in 2028, shortening the distance between coastal communes and the central area. After completion, this will be the 6th bridge over Tam Giang - Cau Hai lagoon; creating momentum to attract investment, develop socio-economy as well as serve the needs of people in coastal and lagoon areas. In the future, at least 3 more bridges over Tam Giang lagoon will be invested and put into use.

Previously, when answering the press about Hue's development direction, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of the Hue City People's Committee Nguyen Van Phuong affirmed: According to the master plan until 2045, with a vision to 2065 approved by the Government in January 2024, Hue is the growth pole of the Central region's driving force in marine economy, tourism economy, and the center of industrial development and national seaports. Therefore, investing in transport infrastructure and inter-regional connectivity is considered a strategic solution for Hue.
