Chairman of the Hue City People's Committee, Mr. Nguyen Khac Toan, has signed a decision approving the investment policy for a bridge project spanning Hen Islet in Vy Da Ward, along with a connecting road system at both ends.
This vital transport project is expected to resolve the connectivity bottleneck for the Hen Islet area. Currently, the islet relies solely on the Phu Luu Bridge as its only access point.
According to technical assessments, the existing Phu Luu Bridge has significantly deteriorated and is too narrow to meet the increasing travel demands, goods transport, and daily needs of Hen Islet residents. The investment in a new bridge is viewed as an urgent requirement that aligns with the urban spatial development, tourism, and service goals along the Huong River.
To ensure the structure harmonizes with the local landscape and terrain, Hue City will organize an architectural design competition to select the best aesthetic and functional plan for the bridge.
Per the approved decision, the project, including the bridge and leading roads, will have a total length of approximately 2.76 km and a width of 26 m. The project starts at the intersection of Truong Gia Mo and the extended Le Duc Anh Street (Vy Da Ward) and ends at the intersection of Nguyen Gia Thieu and Ho Quy Ly Street (Phu Xuan Ward).
The total estimated investment is approximately VND2.2 trillion (nearly $84 million), with a projected timeline of four years once full funding is allocated.
