The construction will cost VND4.9 trillion (US$207 million), with VND2 trillion ($85 million) provided by the central Government.

The 4.4km bridge over the Thi Vai River is expected to be completed in later 2027.

Nguyen Van Tho, chairman of the People’s Committee of Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, where the ceremony was held, described the bridge as a very important and urgent requirement.

It will link Phu My Town in Ba Ria-Vung Tau with Nhon Trach District in Dong Nai, improving connectivity with the Cái Mep-Thị Vai Port Complex in the former province by sharing the load with other roads like National Highway No. 51.
