HCM City will invest nearly VND9.9trn (USD427m) in building Can Gio Bridge which would connect Nha Be and Can Gio districts.

  

Can Gio Bridge Model


HCM City People's Committee has approved a list of 46 key traffic transport construction projects in 2021. The projects were proposed by the Department of Transport.

Can Gio Bridge would be 3.4km long with four lanes built under a public-private-partnership agreement. It would replace Binh Khanh Ferry when completed. Construction will be carried out from 2021 to 2026.

HCM City authorities proposed construction of the bridge with investment of VND5.3trn a few years ago and the project was included in the HCM City Transport Development Planning in September 2017. In April 2019, the city Department of Planning and Architecture selected the design created by Kidohu Green Construction Investment JSC.

The cable-stayed bridge would be supported by a pillar that has the shape of a mangrove tree and the bridge railing will have the shape of waves. The lighting system at night will make it look like a mangrove forest.

The bridge will connect the southern part of HCM City with Can Gio District, potentially helping boost the transport and marine tourism sectors in Can Gio.
