On September 13, a representative of the Department of Planning and Investment of Quang Ngai province said that the Tra Khuc 1 bridge project was included in the list of medium-term public investment projects for the period 2026 - 2030 of Quang Ngai province. In particular, this project is a priority for implementation, so resources will be balanced for investment in the first half of 2026.
Quang Ngai province plans to start construction of Tra Khuc 1 bridge in the third quarter of 2024, with a total estimated investment of VND 2,199 billion. However, according to the Department of Planning and Investment, the medium-term public investment plan for the 2021-2025 period currently only ensures about 60% of the development investment needs in the province, leading to an inadequate source of capital for project implementation, so the construction of Tra Khuc 1 bridge has been postponed to 2026.
Tra Khuc 1 Bridge Project is approximately 830m long; the bridge is approximately 28m wide; investment in 2 intersections at the bridgehead, underpass and other auxiliary items. Total investment is 2,199 billion VND.
The bridge has an impressive design with 3 consecutive circles creating the image of a water bank in the middle of Tra Khuc River, a symbol associated with the history of formation and development of Quang Ngai. This is the architectural design chosen by Quang Ngai province through a nationwide competition.
