The three-kilometre-long bridge will connect the city’s District 2 with Nhon Trach District in Dong Nai, and be built as a build-operate-transfer project by 194 Construction Investment Corporation.
The corporation has proposed two alternative plans, one to cost VND5.7 trillion (US$ 228 million) and the other, VND4.4 trillion (US$176 million).
But no more details are known.
The city People’s Committee has instructed relevant agencies to consider the two options and make recommendations.
Work is expected to begin in the first quarter of next year.
The Cat Lai ferry carries an average of 50,000 passengers a day and 100,000 on peak days.
