On October 21, the People’s Committee of Dong Nai Province approved the assignment of Construction Corporation No. 1 (CC1) as the proposed investor for the Cat Lai Bridge project under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The deadline for the investor to submit the project proposal is before October 31, 2025.
The Cat Lai Ferry will be replaced by a bridge connecting Dong Nai Province and Ho Chi Minh City.
The Provincial People’s Committee has designated the Provincial Project Management Board as the unit responsible for receiving the investor’s proposal. The investor will bear all costs and risks if the project proposal is not approved. Additionally, the investor is responsible for arranging the costs of preparing the project investment proposal and assumes all risks if the proposal is not accepted.
The Departments of Finance, Construction, and Agriculture and Environment are tasked with collaborating with relevant agencies to appraise the proposal and complete procedures related to construction, planning, environment, and land, in accordance with legal regulations.
The Provincial Project Management Board is responsible for coordinating with the proposed investor, working with consulting units, and verifying the proposal’s components and content as per regulations. CC1 is accountable for the project proposal’s content, comparing project contract forms, and reporting to competent authorities for investment decision-making and project implementation scheduling.
Previously, CC1 proposed the construction of the Cat Lai Bridge and Long Hung Bridge under the PPP model. The Cat Lai Bridge project is proposed to have a total length of over 11.6 km, including a 4.7 km bridge, with a preliminary investment of over 18.8 trillion VND (excluding construction period interest).
For the Long Hung Bridge project, CC1 proposed a route exceeding 11.7 km, starting at the intersection with Ring Road 3 in Ho Chi Minh City at Go Cong Junction, Long Phuoc Ward, and ending at National Highway 51 in An Phuoc Commune, Dong Nai Province. The bridge itself will span over 2.3 km, with a 3.8 km access road in Ho Chi Minh City and a 5.5 km main route in Dong Nai Province. The total investment for this project is nearly 11 trillion VND.
