Ho Chi Minh City plans four bridges along Doi Canal

Ho Chi Minh City is moving ahead with four bridge projects along the northern bank of Doi Canal to improve road links in the area.

The city has approved the winning architectural design for Kenh Ngang 2 Bridge in Phu Dinh Ward and is preparing a design contest for Kenh Ngang 3 Bridge.

Roads along the northern bank of Doi Canal in Phu Dinh and Chanh Hung wards are cut off by several smaller canals. New bridges and canal-side upgrades are expected to improve road links.

Work on Hiep An 2 Bridge, linking the two wards, began in August 2025. The main structure is complete, with work under way on the approach roads.

Kenh Ngang 1 Bridge, linking Nguyen Duy and Hoai Thanh streets, is also under construction. The 150-metre-long, 10.5-metre-wide bridge will cost about VND 90 billion and is expected to be completed in early 2027.

Kenh Ngang 2 Bridge will link Hoai Thanh and Luu Huu Phuoc streets. The 400-metre-long, 10.5-metre-wide bridge will cost about VND 350 billion, with construction expected to begin in late 2026 following the selection of a design by the FAS-MAKHUYA-DVT consortium.

Plans are also under way for the 400-metre-long, 10.5-metre-wide Kenh Ngang 3 Bridge on Luu Huu Phuoc Street, with an estimated investment of VND 350 billion. An architectural design contest is being prepared.
