Vingroup has submitted a pre-feasibility study to Ho Chi Minh City authorities for a sea-crossing bridge-road project linking Can Gio with Vung Tau, with a total estimated investment of VND104.41 trillion (USD3.96 billion). The project is proposed under a public–private partnership (PPP) structure using a build–transfer (BT) model, with construction targeted to begin in 2026 and completion planned for 2029.
The proposed link will be 14.6 km long, comprising a 10.8 km sea-crossing bridge and a 3.8 km road section. The alignment is designed with a width of 22.5 metres, four vehicle lanes and two mixed-use lanes. The bridge will adopt a cable-stayed configuration with a 600 m main span and a navigational clearance of 55 m to accommodate large vessels.
The route will start from Bien Dong 2 Street in the Can Gio sea-encroachment urban area, cross Ganh Rai Bay and connect to Vung Tau via the planned Mai Sao–Ben Dinh road, terminating at the intersection with 30/4 Street in Tam Thang ward. The project will require approximately 137.5 hectares of land, with water surface requirements to be determined. Travel time between Can Gio and Vung Tau is expected to be reduced to just over 10 minutes.
According to Vingroup, the project is intended to unlock the economic potential of Can Gio and the Long Son–Vung Tau area by improving access for eco-tourism, industrial development, port activities and logistics. The link is also expected to ease congestion on National Highway 51 and Road 965 and support the expansion of the Cai Mep–Thi Vai port complex, following the administrative merger of Ho Chi Minh City, Ba Ria–Vung Tau and Binh Duong provinces.
