The 15.1km bridge, with total investment capital of nearly VND8 trillion (US$327.4 million), will help shorten travel time between Ca Mau, Soc Trang, Bac Lieu and Ho Chi Minh City - Viet Nam's biggest economic locomotive. 

Once completed in 2026, it will replace ferries services between Soc Trang and Tra Vinh provinces.
