The Government of Hue is set to open the Thuan An sea-crossing bridge, the longest of its kind in central Vietnam, aimed at improving connectivity across key economic zones.
The project comprises a 2.36 km bridge along with a 5.3 km connected road network and supporting infrastructure. Built at a cost of approximately VND2.4 trillion (USD96 million) for its first phase, the bridge is expected to be inaugurated by the end of April 2026.
The four-lane, 20-metre-wide bridge will enhance regional connectivity by linking Hue with neighbouring provinces and strengthening access to major corridors, including the East–West Economic Corridor connecting Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.
Authorities expect the project to support the development of a 1,500-hectare coastal urban area, while boosting economic activity in the Thuan An township and the Chan May–Lang Co Economic Zone. Key sectors expected to benefit include tourism, port operations, and industrial development.
