HCMC - Currently, the old Phuoc Long bridge (Nha Be district) has degraded and traffic jams always occur. People hope the project will be completed soon and traffic will be more convenient.
According to Lao Dong reporters on the afternoon of September 21, the old Phuoc Long bridge on Pham Huu Lau Street (Nha Be District) has deteriorated. In addition, Ho Chi Minh City has been experiencing continuous rain for many days, making it more difficult for many people to travel through here.

Mr. Nguyen Bui Duy Hieu (32 years old, living in Nha Be district) said that because of the construction of a new bridge, the road leading to the old Phuoc Long bridge is quite narrow, and when it rains, many puddles appear, making it difficult for vehicles to move.
“When it rains, I have to drive very slowly to avoid falling. Many vehicles have to line up to cross the bridge. I hope the new Phuoc Long bridge project will be completed soon so that people can travel more easily,” said Mr. Hieu.

Living near Phuoc Long bridge, Ms. Nguyen Huyen Mai (residing in Nha Be district) said that Phuoc Long bridge has been under construction for about 4 years but is still not finished.
“I see workers working continuously at the construction site, only stopping when it rains. I also hope the bridge will be completed soon so that we can stabilize our lives,” said Ms. Mai.

However, after completing some bridge piers, the project was suspended due to delay in handing over the site. In July 2022, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council approved an adjustment of the project's investment capital, from 398 billion VND to 748 billion VND. The increase is mainly for compensation, site clearance and relocation of technical infrastructure, increasing from 166 billion VND to 515 billion VND.
