The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport recently submitted a report on the city’s transport infrastructure development plan, including the progress and investment plans for key transport projects in the area. The report included a proposal to expedite the construction project of the Nguyen Khoai bridge and road.
Accordingly, the Department of Transport has requested the People’s Committee of District 4 to expedite compensation, clearance, and land handover to the investor before August 2025 to start the construction work.
At the same time, the Department of Transport also requested the Ho Chi Minh City Traffic Works Construction Investment Management Board (the investor) to expedite related procedures such as the plan for selecting contractors, completing technical designs, and organizing bidding to select contractors, ensuring that the construction starts by early September 2025 at the latest.

According to the initial plan, some items of the bridge and the road leading to District 1 were to be started in the fourth quarter of 2024. However, due to obstacles in site clearance and adjustments to the local detailed planning schemes at a scale of 1/2000, the construction start time has been delayed.
In late October 2024, during an inspection of the Nguyen Khoai bridge and road project, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, Nguyen Van Dung, requested the units to expedite compensation and site clearance to have a clean site for the project’s commencement in July 2025. Specifically, the project’s schedule was expected to complete compensation, support, and resettlement by June 2025, start construction in July 2025, and finish the project by June 2027.
The construction project of the Nguyen Khoai bridge and road (connecting Districts 7, 4, and 1) has a total investment of approximately VND 3,735 billion from the city budget. Of this, VND 1,264 billion is for site clearance, and VND 1,748 billion is for construction. The project is under the management of the Transport Department.
The project includes a bridge section of about 2.5 km and a road section of over 2.3 km, with the bridge branches having a total length of more than 1.3 km. The main branch will construct a bridge over the Te Canal, continue as an elevated road on Nguyen Khoai Street, then cross the Ben Nge Canal, and connect to Vo Van Kiet Street through two separate bridge branches, N7 and N8.
Upon completion, the Nguyen Khoai bridge over the Te and Ben Nge canals will form a main route connecting the South and Central areas of Ho Chi Minh City.
The project will help alleviate traffic congestion at Te Canal Bridge, Nguyen Huu Tho Street, Nguyen Van Cu Bridge, and Chu Y Bridge, among others. It will also contribute to completing the transport infrastructure and technical infrastructure in line with the city’s planning, meeting the travel needs of local residents.
