Ben Tre - Rach Mieu 2 Bridge, connecting Tien Giang and Ben Tre, has been officially closed after more than 3 years of construction.

At the end of March 2022, the Rach Mieu 2 bridge project officially started construction. However, after 1 year of implementation, many difficulties have surrounded this key project.

One of the biggest obstacles is site clearance in Tien Giang and Ben Tre provinces, causing many difficulties in construction.

At that time, Mr. Tran Van Hung - Technical Officer of Dinh An Group Co., Ltd., the unit implementing the XL -04 Package of Rach Mieu Bridge Project 2 - said that Tien Giang provincial authorities carry out slow and uneven site clearance work, continuously caused difficulties for the contractor to execute the XL -04 bidding package on Tien Giang. There are construction areas that still have electric cylinders, cables, houses, ... have not been relocated. The ground is not clean, so the contractor is difficult to implement construction.

After that, the Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh had many actual inspections at the construction site of Rach Mieu 2 Bridge project. Here, the Prime Minister asked to complete the project on the occasion of February 2, 2025. At the same time, requiring two localities in Ben Tre and Tien Giang to urgently clear the clean ground to assign the contractor.

With the Prime Minister promptly removing the problem and giving close instructions, on April 19, 2025, the Rach Mieu 2 bridge project was organized, marking an important milestone, symbolizing the solidarity, perseverance and dedication of hundreds of engineers and workers who have poured sweat on the construction site throughout the 3 years of construction.

Each bridge span that is taking shape is a steady advance for a better and more connected West.

The journey connecting the two banks of the Tien River is not only the story of building a bridge - it is the story of faith, of the transformation of an entire fertile land that is reaching strongly into the future.
