HCM City (VNA) – The Transport Department of Ho
Chi Minh City has proposed building two more bridges to enhance transport
connectivity between the southern economic hub and its neighbour Dong Nai
province.
The bridges include Phu My 2 that links the southern part of HCM City with Dong Nai’s Nhon Trach district; and Dong Nai 2, connecting Thu Duc city in HCM City with Long Thanh district in Dong Nai.
According to the Road Network Development Plan for 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, there will be five bridges across a 40-kilometer river section between the two localities, namely Dong Nai, Long Thanh, Nhon Trach, Cat Lai and Phuoc Khanh, across a 40-kilometer section of the river.
Of them, only two bridges, Dong Nai and Long Thanh, have been opened to traffic while Nhon Trach and Phuoc Khanh will not be completed until 2025 and work on Cat Lai bridge remains unknown given differences over where the bridge should be located.
Therefore, Dong Nai and Long Thanh bridges now become overloaded.
The Dong Nai Department of Transport has coordinated with a consultant to review the relevant plan and forecast the number of vehicle movements between Dong Nai and HCM City.
Dong Nai, the eastern gateway of HCM City, is separated from the southern economic hub by rivers such as Dong Nai, Long Tau, Dong Tranh and Thi Vai. Therefore, bridges play an important role in connecting these two localities, especially when the Long Thanh International Airport in Dong Nai province is put into operation./.
