Thu Thiem 4 Bridge project to connect District 2 and 4 in HCM City
A construction plan for the Thu Thiem 4 Bridge Project which spans the Sai Gon River and connects District 2 and District 7 in Ho Chi Minh City was announced by the municipal People's Committee on Tuesday.
According to the design plan, the bridge is nearly 2.2 kilometres long and 28 metres wide with six lanes and two pavements. The speed limit is 60 kilometres per hour.
The construction of the bridge will be carried out by local companies under a Build-and-Transfer contract with an estimated investment of VND5.2 trillion (USD226 million).
The Thu Thiem 4 Bridge will connect Thu Thiem New Urban Area and Nam Sai Gon New Urban Area and is expected to ease traffic congestion from the city's southern area to the centre. It will also help boost the development of Thu Thiem New Urban Area.
According to the plans by the municipal people's committee, five bridges and one tunnel will connect Thu Thiem New Urban Area in District 2 with different parts of the city. The Thu Thiem 1 Bridge and Saigon River Tunnel which connect District 2 and District 1 have already been put into operation. The Thu Thiem 2 Bridge which began construction in early 2015 with total investment of nearly VND3.1 trillion has yet not been completed.
