The Government has instructed related agencies to complete the formalities for the projects and submit additional plans if there are any before December 31 this year.
The city wants to build the 4.5km Cat Lai Bridge – including its approach roads – to facilitate transport of goods from industrial parks on National Highway No 51 and in the Nhon Trach urban area to ports in districts 2 and 7.
The Binh Khanh Bridge will replace the Binh Khanh ferry, currently the only way to reach Can Gio from the city and badly overloaded.
The 8.6km road along National Highway No 50 from Nhà Bè District to the border of Long An Province would ease the load on the highway.
