Present at the event, Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai praised the Ministry of Transport and Dong Nai Province for having implemented a series of construction projects which are essential to the modernization of traffic infrastructure and helps connect  Southeastern cities and provinces.
 
The 1.3-kilometre Hoa An bridge is a key construction project of Dong Nai Province that was commenced in late 2010 with a total funding of more than VND1.17 trillion (US$55.9 million). It is constructed in parallel with another bridge of the same name that serves the transport of 30 million tonnes of goods annually. The distance between the two bridges is 14.80 metres.
 
The new Hoa An bridge serves as a connection for the north-south traffic passing through Bien Hoa City to Binh Duong Province and HCM City. It is also linked with the Trans-Asia Highway leading to Tay Ninh Province.
 
The projects to build a tunnel at Tam Hiep junction and a flyover at Amata intersection on National Highway 1A, worth VND485 billion (US$23.09 million) in total, are implemented by the Construction Corporation No 1.
 
It is targeted that the tunnel will be completed in 8 months and the flyover in six months.
 
Hai expected that the two projects would help ease traffic on National Highway 1A.
 
He asked the local authorities to co-operate with the project owner and create the best conditions to ensure the quality and progress of the project.
