The development of the Thu Thiem 4 Bridge has officially transitioned to a public investment model, funded by the municipal budget. This decision follows a consensus reached by the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee during its third meeting in the 2025-2030 tenure, held on January 7.
The Thu Thiem 4 Bridge project is more than just a construction work. It represents a strategic milestone in connecting the city’s key regions, catalyzing economic growth, and enhancing the quality of urban life.
Spanning approximately 2.2 km with eight lanes, the projected bridge requires a total investment of over VND5 trillion ($190 million). The project’s starting point is located at Nguyen Van Linh Street, where it will connect with the Tan Thuan 2 Bridge, and its endpoint will be at Nguyen Co Thach Street within the Thu Thiem New Urban Area.
The Thu Thiem New Urban Area is envisioned to become Ho Chi Minh City’s modern financial, commercial, and service hub. However, transport links between Thu Thiem, the city center, and the city's southern wards remain limited.
The absence of a direct arterial connection has placed immense pressure on existing routes. Consequently, the Thu Thiem 4 Bridge is expected to alleviate the current traffic burden, strengthen regional connectivity, and accelerate urban expansion.
