Previously, on August 19, Ca Mau Province commenced construction of the Ca Mau – Dat Mui Expressway under an emergency mechanism. As approved by the Prime Minister, this expressway runs parallel to National Highway 1 and the Ho Chi Minh Highway from Ca Mau City to Dat Mui. It completes the final link in the North-South Eastern Expressway from Pac Bo (Cao Bang Province) to Ca Mau Cape (Ca Mau Province).
This route will provide access to renowned destinations such as Dat Mui Cape, Mui Ca Mau National Park, and the Nam Can mangrove forest, fostering opportunities for large-scale eco-cultural-marine tourism development.
The expressway also holds strategic significance for inter-regional economic development and national connectivity. It will reduce travel time, lower logistics costs, and stimulate trade, investment, agriculture, processing industries, and tourism in Ca Mau.
Ca Mau Anticipates Completion of Vietnam’s Largest Sea-Crossing Bridge
Construction began on August 19 alongside the Ca Mau – Dat Mui Expressway and the Hon Khoai Multi-Purpose Port. The Hon Khoai sea-crossing bridge connects to the expressway, with a main span of 17.3 km, an island approach of 0.87 km, and a deck width of 16.5 m.
The structure features bored pile foundations, with deep-water areas reinforced by steel pipe piles. The bridge deck combines reinforced concrete and composite steel. Notably, the navigation span employs a steel arch design with a clearance of up to 150 m, showcasing advanced and complex construction techniques.
This project is a breakthrough initiative to unlock the economic, logistics, and defense potential of the nation’s southernmost maritime region.

Once operational, the Hon Khoai sea-crossing bridge, Hon Khoai Multi-Purpose Port, and Ca Mau – Dat Mui Expressway will form a complete North-South axis to the nation’s southernmost point. This infrastructure will drive marine economic growth, logistics, trade, tourism, and strengthen national defense in the Southwest maritime region.
The project is expected to set a new record as Vietnam’s longest sea-crossing bridge and rank third in Southeast Asia. Currently, the longest sea-crossing bridge in Vietnam is the Tan Vu – Lach Huyen Bridge (Hai Phong) at 5.44 km, opened in 2017, followed by the Thi Nai Bridge (Binh Dinh) at nearly 2.5 km. With its scale and strategic importance, the Hon Khoai sea-crossing bridge symbolizes Vietnam’s infrastructure advancement in the regional context.
