Dong Nai Province in southern Vietnam organized the technical traffic opening of Thong Nhat Bridge, officially broke ground on the Cai Riverside Road project and marked the technical opening of the Long Khanh Ring Road 1 project on February 3.
The Thong Nhat Bridge is a key component of the Bien Hoa Central Axis road project, specifically the section stretching from Vo Thi Sau Street to Dang Van Tron Street.
The entire central axis spans approximately 5.5 km with a preliminary total investment of about VND1.5 trillion ($58 million).
This technical opening realizes a long-held aspiration of residents in Tran Bien Ward and the province at large, while helping to alleviate traffic congestion in the center of the former city of Bien Hoa, and strengthening regional connectivity within the provincial capital.
Notably, Thong Nhat Bridge plays a pivotal role in connecting the 294-hectare Hiep Hoa Urban Area, one of Bien Hoa’s priority zones for urban development in the coming period.
On the same day, the provincial authorities commenced construction on the Cai Riverside Road, which is expected to form a new transport artery. This project aims to reduce congestion, enhance the urban landscape, and effectively utilize the space along both sides of the Dong Nai River.
Additionally, the Long Khanh Ring Road 1 project was officially opened for technical traffic. The route spans over 4 km with a 45-meter-wide roadbed and includes a railway overpass, drainage systems, lighting, and greenery.
Funded by the provincial budget with a total investment of approximately VND1.3 trillion ($50 million), the road will help reduce inner-city traffic pressure, complete the local ring road system, and provide space for the future urban expansion of Long Khanh.
