Nhon Trach Bridge, a key part of the Ho Chi Minh City section of Ring Road No. 3, has been technically opened to traffic, connecting the southern metropolis with neighboring Dong Nai province, according to the My Thuan Management Board – the project’s investor.

The bridge is part of the sub-project No.1, known as 1A, of the ring road. The sub-project has a total length of 8.22km, including 6.3km in Dong Nai province and 1.92km in HCM City. Its total investment capital was estimated at VND6.955 trillion ($265 million). 

Of which, the Nhon Trach bridge has a length of 2.6km with an estimated investment capital of VND1.8 trillion ($68.9 million).

The bridge is scheduled to be officially put into operation in June this year.

Once fully operational, the Ring Road No.3 will help to alleviate traffic from HCM City to Long Thanh international airport in Dong Nai province, as well as reduce pressure for the HCMC-Long Thanh-Dau Giay Expressway.
