Hai Phong, a major port city in northern Vietnam, is set to build the sea-crossing Tan Vu-Lach Huyen 2 bridge next to the Tan Vu-Lach Huyen bridge, the longest of its kind in the country, at a cost of VND8.7 trillion (US$342 million).

The plan to build the sea-crossing bridge and two approaching roads was completed by the municipal Department of Transport and is in the process of consideration, the leader of the municipal People’s Committee said at the opening ceremony of the 21st sitting held by the Hai Phong People’s Council on Wednesday.

The project will be submitted to the prime minister for approval in the first quarter of 2025.

If approved, the project will be implemented in the 2026-30 period.

Upon completion, the planned bridge will be 5.44 kilometers long and 16 meters wide. The two approaching roads to the bridge, with a total length of 9.86 kilometers, will be expanded to allow for 10 lanes, with six for motorized vehicles and four mixed lanes.

The approaching roads to the current Tan Vu-Lach Huyen bridge have four lanes.

The new bridge project will carry a price tag of VND8.7 trillion, with VND6.45 trillion ($253 million) sourced from loans provided by South Korea's Economic Development Cooperation Fund, and the rest from the city’s reciprocal capital.

The 5.4-kilometer sea-crossing Tan Vu-Lach Huyen bridge with a total capital of some VND12 trillion ($472 million) was opened to traffic on September 2, 2017. It is the longest and most modern sea-crossing bridge in Vietnam.

The bridge has four lanes, connecting Hai An District with Cat Hai District.
