Trungnam Group has proposed to the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City their interest in participating in the Can Gio Bridge project, suggesting a build-transfer (BT) arrangement under the public-private partnership (PPP) contract model.
Previously, Ho Chi Minh City had assigned Trungnam Group to prepare a pre-feasibility report for the project. The report was submitted to the city’s People’s Committee and used by the former Department of Transportation as a basis for completion and presentation to the Municipal People’s Council in late 2023.
According to Trungnam Group, the project is estimated to require a total investment of VND 10,569 billion and is planned to be implemented in the 2024-2028 period under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) format. However, following the adjustment of Metro Line 12 (from District 7 to Can Gio) to a PPP model per Decision 1125/QD-TTg, the company believes that a shift in capital mobilization is necessary.
Trungnam Group argues that the BOT model faces limitations due to low traffic volume, prolonged payback periods of 30-50 years, and potential impacts on Metro Line 12. Hence, they propose transitioning to a PPP model, anticipating optimized financial efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and better alignment with local realities.
The company assures comprehensive support from design to construction, guaranteeing timely and quality delivery. Trungnam Group has a track record of successfully executing significant projects, including My Thuan 2 Bridge, Rach Mieu 2 Bridge, Phu An Bridge, and Ham Luong – Ca Mau Bridge.

In addition to Trungnam Group, Masterise Group has also expressed interest in investing in the Can Gio Bridge project through a BT arrangement. Likewise, Thaigroup has petitioned the city to consider their participation in the project via a BT contract or other suitable methods.
As per the plan, the Can Gio Bridge will span the Soai Rap River, connecting the former Can Gio and Nha Be districts. It will follow Route 15B, intersect with Nguyen Binh, and join Rung Sac Road, approximately 2.5 km south of Binh Khanh ferry terminal.
Currently, the primary means of transportation between Can Gio and Ho Chi Minh City’s center relies on the Binh Khanh ferry. Along with the Can Gio Bridge, a 48.5 km-long metro line is in the works, expected to cater to travel demands and boost development with the establishment of an international transshipment port and a coastal urban area.
