The Thu Thiem 4 bridge construction project will be submitted to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council for consideration and approval of the investment policy at the session scheduled to take place on February 6.
Previously, the Executive Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee had agreed on the policy of adjusting investment capital sources to implement the project.
According to the submission of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, Thu Thiem 4 bridge has a total length of about 2.16 km, of which the bridge section is more than 1.6 km long. The project is designed with a scale of 8 lanes, including 6 lanes for motorized vehicles and 2 mixed lanes. Thu Thiem 4 bridge has a navigation clearance of 15 m.
The starting point of the project is on Nguyen Van Linh street, the intersection with Tan Thuan 2 bridge (Tan Thuan ward), the ending point connects to Nguyen Co Thach street - North - South axis of Thu Thiem New Urban Area (An Khanh ward).
The total estimated investment of the project is about 5,063 billion VND, using entirely the Ho Chi Minh City budget capital.
Of which, construction and equipment costs are about VND 2,762.2 billion; project management, consulting and other costs are about VND 256 billion; contingency costs are about VND 658.4 billion; compensation, support and resettlement costs are about VND 1,385 billion.
The project is divided into 2 component projects. Component project 1 is compensation, support and resettlement with a total investment of about 1,385 billion VND. Component project 2 is the construction of Thu Thiem 4 bridge, with a total investment of about 3,678.6 billion VND.
Regarding progress, compensation, support and resettlement work is expected to be implemented from the third quarter of 2026 to the first quarter of 2027.
The selection of construction contractors and supervision consultants is expected to be carried out in the fourth quarter of 2026. The project will start construction in the fourth quarter of 2026 and be completed in the fourth quarter of 2028.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, the Thu Thiem 4 bridge construction project is identified as a key and urgent traffic project, which needs to be prioritized for investment in order to gradually synchronize the regional technical infrastructure system according to the plan approved by the Prime Minister.
Thu Thiem 4 bridge when completed will shorten the connecting distance from the East area (Thu Duc City, Binh Thanh before) to the South area (Districts 7, 8, Nha Be, Binh Chanh before).
At the same time, Thu Thiem 4 bridge helps reduce traffic pressure for existing roads such as Ton Duc Thang, Nguyen Tat Thanh, Khanh Hoi bridge, Huynh Tan Phat - Luu Trong Lu - Ben Nghe, Huynh Tan Phat - Nguyen Van Linh intersections, as well as the Tan Thuan Industrial Park area.
In addition, the project also creates conditions to attract investment, develop tourism, promote the formation and development of Thu Thiem New Urban Area, and create new momentum for the development of the Southern Urban Area of Ho Chi Minh City, contributing to promoting socio-economic growth of the City.
