Ho Chi Minh City plans to kick off construction of Can Gio Bridge by April 2025, with investment estimated at VND10 trillion ($421 million), according to the municipal Department of Transport.
The department will prepare a feasibility study for the project and select contractors in 2023-2024.
The project will be invested in the public-private partnership (PPP) form.
The 3.6-km-long bridge will span the Soai Rap River and link Nha Be and Can Gio districts.
It is designed to have six lanes and a clearance of 55 meters, replacing the currently overwhelmed Binh Khanh ferry service, connecting Can Gio with neighboring areas and promoting waterway tourism and local urban projects, according to the department.
