An artist impression of the new bridge between Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai ProvinceHo Chi Minh City is asking for permission to build a new bridge and make it easier to travel to the neighboring industrial hub Dong Nai. The four-kilometer bridge will serve cargo transport between HCMC’s Cat Lai Port and industrial parks in Dong Nai, the proposal said. Ferryboats shuttling between HCMC and Dong Nai remain a popular means of transport. The project has received support from Dong Nai's government. In its proposal sent to the government, the city said a construction company plans to invest VND5.7 trillion (US$255.6 million) on a suspended bridge across the Dong Nai River that will link HCMC’s District 2 and Dong Nai’s Nhon Trach District.
