The Dai An Bridge project over the Kim Son River (Sat River) in northern Hai Duong province has begun, marked by a groundbreaking ceremony on February 8.

The project, which aims to connect Gia Loc and Cam Giang districts, involves a total investment capital estimated at VND 250 billion (nearly $9.9 million).

The bridge's starting point integrates with an investment project to build Ring Road 1 of Hai Duong city, spanning from the 62m road to the Dai An Extended Industrial Park. 

Upon completion, this bridge will enhance inter-regional connectivity between localities, connecting National Highway 5 and critical transportation routes within Hai Duong province.

During the event, Mr. Le Ngoc Chau, Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, highlighted the importance of ongoing infrastructure projects between 2021 and 2025. One such project is Ring Road 1, a planned 30 km route intersecting National Highway 5, National Highway 37, and Provincial Roads 390 and 391. This ring road will encircle Hai Duong city, connecting industrial parks and vital functional areas.

Hai Duong province currently hosts 605 foreign investment projects from 27 countries and territories, with total registered capital exceeding $11.2 billion. According to the provincial planning approved by the Prime Minister, by 2030, Hai Duong will have 32 industrial parks covering a combined area of 5,661 ha.
