The sub-project 1A of Tan Van-Nhon Trach section will connect Nhon Trach District with HCMC and neighboring localities in the region, opening a chance for Nhon Trach to become a 2nd-class city and creating preconditions for the complication of the HCMC Belt Road No. 3 project.
Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister of Transport Le Anh Tuan emphasized the Southeast region is one of the most important economic, political, cultural and educational centers of Vietnam, contributing 34 percent to the national GDP. In addition, the region is also the largest center of industry, seaports and logistics in the country. However, its transport infrastructure is facing lack of regional connectivity and overload at major gateways. The sub-project 1A of Nhon Trach Bridge construction project is expected to contribute to completing HCMC’s Ring Road 3, strengthen connectivity between HCMC and neighboring provinces and link urban satellites with each other.
