Currently, the accumulated output of the whole project has reached 96%. In particular, the CW1 package (construction of Nhon Trach Bridge) reaches 99%, CW2 package (building the road leading to the two bridges) reaches 92%.

The roads on both sides of the bridge are under construction, ensuring smooth connection from the beginning of Dong Nai side to Thu Duc City (Ho Chi Minh City).
