Three major private conglomerates — Trungnam Group, Masterise, and Thaigroup — have submitted proposals to develop the Can Gio Bridge project in Ho Chi Minh City.

The proposed bridge will span the Soai Rap River, linking Can Gio and Nha Be communes. According to preliminary studies, the structure will have a total length of 7.3 kilometers, with an estimated investment of over VND11 trillion ($418 million).

The project has been proposed under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) model, under which the city will contribute over VND5.2 trillion ($197 million), with the remaining capital to be mobilized from the investor.

Once completed, the Can Gio Bridge is expected to significantly improve connectivity between Can Gio  and the city center, ease traffic congestion, and meet growing transportation demands in the area.
