Construction of Dai Ngai 1 Bridge which will connect Tra Vinh and Soc Trang provinces over Hau river in the Mekong Delta started on December 9.

Dai Ngai Bridge 1 is part of the Dai Ngai Bridge project which features two four-lane bridges, including the cable-stayed Dai Ngai 1 Bridge over Dinh An channel, and the Dai Ngai 2 Bridge over Tran De channel.

The entire project has a total length of 15 km and demands an estimated investment capital of VND7.96 trillion ($313.7 million) which will be sourced from the State budget.

Dai Ngai Bridge 1 is nearly 2.6 km long and 21.5 m wide. Its total investment capital is estimated at over VND3.86 trillion ($151 million).

The bridge is scheduled for completion in June 2028.

Construction of Dai Ngai 2 Bridge kicked off last October and is expected to be connected in 2025.
