The Nguyen Khoai Bridge and Road project boasts a total investment of over VND 3.7 trillion. Specifically, compensation, support, and resettlement efforts amount to more than VND 1.392 trillion, addressing 147 cases, including 21 organizations and 126 households, with over 8,900 m² of land reclaimed. Construction costs are approximately VND 1.619 trillion.
Location of Nguyen Khoai Road. The Nguyen Khoai Bridge and Road route spans nearly 5 km, starting from Hoang Trong Mau Street (former District 7), crossing the Te Canal, running elevated along Nguyen Khoai axis, and crossing the Ben Nghe Creek to merge into Vo Van Kiet Boulevard (former District 1) via branches N7 and N8. The bridge section is approximately 2.5 km long, while the road section exceeds 2.3 km, accompanied by a system of frontage roads and ramps leading to the former District 4 area.
Nguyen Khoai Road stretches nearly 2 km, starting from Ben Van Don Street to Ton That Thuyet Street.
Houses, corrugated iron roofs, and brick walls along Nguyen Khoai route have been demolished. Some households have since begun renovating the remaining parts of their homes.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Ly, owner of a business on Nguyen Khoai Road, is very excited about the significant space cleared for the project. “Many people are eagerly awaiting the project’s completion. Once finished, the sidewalks and roads will be more organized, providing pedestrians with more space,” said Ms. Ly.
According to Tien Phong reporters, after being informed, many families have proactively cooperated with authorities, handing over the affected areas on schedule.
Mr. Nguyen Quang Hieu, a resident of this area for over three decades, shared: “My house was set back 7 meters and compensated at VND 180 million per square meter. When the government developed Nguyen Khoai Road, my family fully supported it to make the road wider and more spacious, which also facilitates business.”
Local authorities continue to support residents in relocation, resettlement, and compensation rights to ensure consensus. The proactive land handover by residents demonstrates their support for the city’s major infrastructure projects, contributing to the development of a modern and prosperous urban landscape in the southern part of Ho Chi Minh City.

Upon completion, the project will create an important traffic route, significantly reducing congestion on the Te Canal Bridge, a long-standing bottleneck in the southern area.
In parallel with the Nguyen Khoai Bridge and Road project, Ho Chi Minh City is accelerating preparations for the commencement of other key projects such as the Binh Tien Bridge and Road and National Highway 50, aiming to complete urban transport infrastructure during the 2025 – 2030 period.
