A new bridge that links Dong Nai
province and Ho Chi Minh City opened to traffic on Dec. 30 after nearly
20 months of construction.
The launching ceremony of the new transport link was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai.
On addressing the ceremony, the Deputy PM praised the investor and constructors as well as the relevant agencies from both the southern provinces of Dong Nai and Binh Duong for completing the project within a record period of time.
He underlined that the new bridge crossing Dong Nai River will be extremely beneficial for hauliers and passengers travelling between north and south.
The new bridge connects the two key economic regions of Bien Hoa City in Dong Nai province and Ho Chi Minh City. It will ease the heavy traffic on the current Dong Nai bridge which lies three metres away downstream.
The new bridge will take vehicles travelling towards Ho Chi Minh City while the old one will serve vehicles headed towards Bien Hoa City.
Deputy PM Hai urged the provincial authorities in Dong Nai and Binh Duong and the investor to finish the construction of approach roads.
Construction of the new bridge began in June 2008 under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) contract with a total investment of 1.8 trillion VND (102 million USD). It is over 461m long and 20m wide and has five lanes./.
