This project has been delayed many times to submit to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council for approval of the investment policy due to the lack of consensus on the bridge clearance plan.
Previously, 5 options were proposed, including clearance of 10 m, 15 m, 45 m, raising - decreasing the span from 15 to 45 m and a tunnel across the Saigon River, with a total investment of 4,365 to 8,953 billion VND.

The total investment capital of the project is about 10,569 billion VND, expected to be approved in 2025, started in 2026 and completed in 2028.
The project will replace Binh Khanh ferry, shortening travel time between the center of Ho Chi Minh City and Can Gio district.
Cat Lai Bridge

Every day, tens of thousands of people and vehicles have to wait for the ferry if they do not want to go around National Highway 51 or the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway (which is only for cars).
This situation affects the transportation of goods between Nhon Trach industrial parks and seaport systems such as Cat Lai, Cai Mep - Thi Vai.
