Site clearance
These days, many households along the National Highway 49A intersection, Thuan An ward are urgently dismantling houses and shops to hand over land to serve the Thuan An estuary overpass project. After receiving compensation money, households have proactively relocated the works, creating conditions for the construction unit to deploy access roads to the bridge. Although the clearance affects livelihoods, people still agree and expect the project to be completed soon, contributing to the development of regional traffic infrastructure.
Mr. Bui Ngoc Chanh - in charge of compensation, site clearance and land fund development of Area 1 Construction Investment Project Management Board, said that so far the ground north of Thuan An bridge has been handed over to Ho Van Do road section. The remaining part is about 200m long, the households have received compensation money and are continuing to hand it over for the construction unit to deploy the access road to the bridge.
The coastal road project through Hue City and Thuan An estuary overpass were started on March 24, 2022. According to the initial plan, the project was completed on March 23, 2025. However, due to many difficulties in site clearance, the project had to be extended to December 31, 2025 and continues to be extended to the present time.
Expected to open to traffic on April 30.
Mr. Nguyen Van Cuong - Deputy Director of the Hue City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board - informed that so far the main bridge section (from abutment M1 to abutment M2) has been completed, and the load testing has been completed.

On route 1B on the Thuan An side to Ho Van Do road, the 1.85/2.15km section has completed the roadbed, and the crushed stone base and asphalt concrete paving of the remaining sections are continuing to be constructed.
