Khởi công đường vượt biển Cần Giờ - Vũng Tàu hơn 104.000 tỷ đồng vào năm 2026

he Can Gio - Vung Tau sea route is expected to have a total investment of more than 104,000 billion VND, which is expected to create a breakthrough for coastal traffic in the South of Ho Chi Minh City. The project is expected to start construction in 2026 and be completed in 2029.

Vingroup Corporation - JSC has just submitted a document to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee requesting the appraisal of the Pre-feasibility Study Report of the Investment Project to build the Can Gio - Vung Tau connecting road and bridge under the public-private partnership (PPP) method - BT Contract type (build - transfer).

 According to the pre-feasibility study report, the project has a total investment of VND 104,410 billion (including loan interest during construction), proposed to be implemented entirely with the investor's capital (equity, commercial loan) and not using public investment capital (the State will pay with counterpart land fund). 

The project is expected to start construction in 2026 and be completed in 2029. Regarding the route direction, from the starting point of Bien Dong 2 road, in the Can Gio sea encroachment urban area, the route goes in the Southeast direction, crossing Ganh Rai bay (mostly on the sea) to Vung Tau, coinciding with the planned road Mai Sao - Ben Dinh and ending at the intersection with 30/4 road.

The entire route is more than 14 km long, including 3.1 km of tunnels, nearly 8 km of bridges and about 3 km of access roads. The project requires about 137.5 hectares of land, water surface area and filling materials.

According to the preliminary design plan, the project is built according to grade I road standards for the road section and special grade bridge standards for the sea-crossing bridge. The design speed is 80 km/h for the road section and 60 km/h for the bridge section.

The route is about 14.67 km long, of which the sea-crossing bridge is 22.5 m wide, with 4 motor vehicle lanes, 2 mixed lanes, a median strip and safety railings. The project is designed according to the HL-93 load capacity, meeting the requirements of a special grade bridge.

 The approach road is about 3.8 km long, designed according to grade I road standards, ensuring synchronous connection with the existing traffic network and existing planned routes. 

The sea-crossing bridge alone is about 10,873 m long, using a cable-stayed structure with a main span expected to be 600 m, suitable for the complex sea-crossing and hydrological conditions of Ghenh Rai Bay. The project ensures a clearance of about 55 m for large ships to enter and exit Cai Mep - Thi Vai port cluster. 

According to Vingroup, the Can Gio and Long Son - Vung Tau areas are two coastal areas with great potential for eco-tourism, industry - seaports and logistics. However, there is currently no direct traffic route connecting the two areas. People and businesses are forced to travel via National Highway 51 or the Can Gio - Vung Tau ferry, which takes 90-120 minutes, wasting time and limiting the capacity to exploit the economy - tourism. 

 The investment in the Can Gio - Vung Tau sea crossing road and bridge will form a unique and direct connection between Ho Chi Minh City and Vung Tau in the coastal direction, thereby contributing to shortening the travel time to 10 minutes. At the same time, it will support the development of the Can Gio Sea Tourism Area and Long Son Industrial Park. In addition, the project will contribute to increasing the capacity of the Cai Mep - Thi Vai port cluster and reducing traffic pressure on National Highway 51 and Road 965.

The route will also contribute to creating momentum for socio-economic development for the southern area of ​​Ho Chi Minh City and the entire Southeast region.
