Clip: Rạch Đỉa Bridge officially opens to traffic.
On the morning of November 28th, the Ho Chi Minh City Transport Infrastructure Project Management Board (Transport Department, investor) coordinated with District 7, Nha Be District, and the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transportation… to organize a ceremony to open the Rạch Đỉa Bridge to traffic. The event was attended by Mr. Bui Xuan Cuong, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee.
Rạch Đỉa Bridge connects District 7 and Nha Be District.
A large number of local residents also arrived early, expressing their long-awaited hope for the bridge to become operational, helping to alleviate the frequent traffic congestion in the area.
The new bridge, located on Le Van Luong Street, is 318 meters long and 10 meters wide, with a bridgehead road of 285 meters in length.
This bridge shortens the travel time between Nha Be District and District 7 and vice versa, eliminating the need to pass through the often-congested Nguyen Van Linh – Nguyen Huu Tho intersection.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Luong Minh Phuc, Director of the Transport Department, shared that the project faced numerous challenges, especially in terms of land clearance and compensation.
“The early completion of the Rạch Đỉa Bridge is attributed to the strong support and direction from the city’s leaders, reflecting the investor’s determination to overcome difficulties, along with the understanding and backing of the local community,” said Mr. Luong Minh Phuc.
According to the Transport Department, the project has a total investment of VND 512 billion.

This new bridge replaces the old, degraded one, improving regional traffic conditions and providing a boost to the economic and social development of the southern part of the city.
After a period of focused effort on land clearance and compensation, construction began in July 2023. Following 17 months of intensive work, the bridge is now open for public use, one month ahead of the scheduled completion date of December 31, 2024.
The Rạch Đỉa Bridge has a total investment of VND 512 billion.
With the completion of the Rạch Đỉa Bridge, along with the previously opened Long Kien Bridge and the upcoming construction of the Rach Tom and Rach Doi Bridges in 2025, the four weak bridges along Le Van Luong Street will be replaced, significantly enhancing the transportation network and connectivity with Long An Province.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Tuyen, a local resident living near the Rạch Đỉa Bridge, shared that the old bridge was small and outdated, often causing traffic jams and posing safety risks. “I, along with my fellow residents, am delighted and grateful to the city authorities for the completion of this new bridge,” she said.
