The first bridge will be built to replace overloaded Cat Lai ferry, linking Dong Nai province’s Nhon Trach district up to HCMC’s District 2. The total length of the bridge and approach roads will be 4.5 kilometers.
Can Gio bridge will replace Binh Khanh ferry, connecting Nha Be and Can Gio district in HCMC. The bridge and approach roads’ length totals 7.3 kilometers.

The road will measure 40 meters in width and permit vehicle speed of 80 kilometers an hour.
