According to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Sam - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, this is an important component project in the Dung Quat - Sa Huynh Coastal Road project, over 100km long. The project is an important link in the planning of the coastal route of Vietnam, connecting infrastructure in the Central region. When completed, the route will not only create a North-South traffic axis in the east, reducing pressure on National Highway 1, but also opening up room for economic, social, tourism and urban development along the coast of Quang Ngai.
Mr. Pham Xuan Vinh - Director of the Provincial Land Fund Development Center said that the Center will focus on best implementing site clearance work. Accordingly, in September 2025, the project site will be basically reclaimed and handed over to the investor for construction immediately after the start of construction.

Phase I, over 30km long, has been completed and put into use with a budget of nearly VND1,500 billion. Phase II is nearly 70km long, from the south of Co Luy bridge to Sa Huynh, deployed in the period of 2018 - 2025.

The bridge is over 2.5km long, of which the approach roads at both ends of the bridge are over 1.8km long and nearly 26m wide. The bridge is 708.5m long, 23m wide with a design of 15 girders, with advanced construction technology. This is the first bridge in Quang Ngai province with a modern steel arch structure, painted in red to create a landscape highlight, opening up opportunities for tourism and service development.
According to Mr. Nguyen Hoang Giang - Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Ngai province, developing transport infrastructure is an important foundation, playing a key role in connecting regions, promoting trade, improving the quality of life and creating momentum for sustainable economic and social growth. Recognizing that, in recent times, the province has mobilized many resources to invest in key projects, including Phuoc Loc bridge.
Mr. Nguyen Hoang Giang also said that in the coming time, Quang Ngai will continue to prioritize transport infrastructure projects with inter-regional, synchronous and modern connectivity. The focus is on completing the Dung Quat - Sa Huynh coastal route, starting the construction of the new Tra Khuc 1 bridge, promoting the Quang Ngai - Kon Tum expressway and coordinating the implementation of the North - South High-Speed Railway project. These will be strategic traffic axes, expanding development space, creating new momentum for the province.
