Construction of Seven Bridges Spanning Red River Accelerated Ahead of 2027 Summit

Construction of seven bridges spanning the Hồng River is being accelerated, with technical openings planned for next July and full completion by October 2027, ahead of the APEC Summit 2027. For the Tứ Liên Bridge project, construction output reached over VNĐ2 trillion out of VNĐ9.418 trillion, representing 21.72% of the contract value excluding contingency costs. The Ngọc Hồi Bridge project has completed 23.59% of its contract value, with contractors Thái Bình Dương and VNVC E&C having finished the two main bridge towers and 80 bored piles.

The ongoing infrastructure investment supports urban development and logistics in the region. The projects involve large capital outlays, such as the Ngọc Hồi Bridge investment of nearly VNĐ10.2 trillion, which indicates significant government commitment to regional connectivity.
