Thong Nhat Bridge, central arterial road project takes shape as construction accelerates

According to the Dong Nai Provincial Investment and Construction Project Management Board, as of now, the Bien Hoa City Central Arterial Road Project (currently located in Tran Bien Ward), stretching from Vo Thi Sau Street to Dang Van Tron Street, has completed contract packages valued at nearly 661 billion VND out of a total of 1,106 billion VND. Among them, "Thong Nhat Bridge", the most critical component of the project, has been over 75% completed.

Let's have a look at photos of Thong Nhat Bridge and the central arterial road nearly 3 years after its construction commencement:

Branch 1 begins at its intersection with Vo Thi Sau Street, crosses "Thong Nhat Bridge", passes through Hiep Hoa Islet, runs along the Dong Nai River, and ends at the intersection with Dang Van Tron Street at the An Hao Bridge interchange. It spans more than 3.7 kilometers, with construction progress currently reaching approximately 65%. Photo: Minh Tai

Branch 2 (on the right) is over 1.7km long, with a construction volume of approximately 60%. Branch 2 starts at the roundabout intersecting with Branch 1 at Hiep Hoa Islet, and ends at the intersection with Dang Van Tron Street at the Buu Hoa Bridge head intersection. Photo: Minh Tai

According to the design, Thong Nhat Bridge will have 6 to 10 lanes, a width ranging from 45 to 95 meters, and a total length of approximately 765 meters, with the main span measuring 559 meters. Construction progress has currently reached nearly 360.3 out of 479 billion VND, equivalent to more than 75%. Photo: Minh Tai

On the Hiep Hoa Islet side, there are still land clearance issues with 3 households within the scope of the parallel road to the Thong Nhat Bridge head. The local authorities are focusing on accelerating compensation and land clearance to hand over the remaining portion in October 2025. Photo: Minh Tai

Previously, in mid-September, Tinh Hoi Pagoda (located on Hiep Hoa Islet) handed over nearly 4,000 square meters of land for the Central Arterial Road Project. Photo: Minh Tai

Overall, the project requires the acquisition of land from 396 households, covering a total area of approximately 34.4 hectares. As of now, the cleared construction site spans more than 30.7 hectares, equivalent to over 92% of the total. Photo: Minh Tai
