In detail, focus will be expanding the bridge in tandem with constructing a tunnel along riverside Thang Long Street and a steel overpass along Cach Mang Thang Tam Street. The total cost is expected to be about VND410 billion.
This option is consistent with the Prime Minister –approved adjustments to the Da Nang Master Plan by 2030, with a vision towards 2045.
According to the Department of Transport, traffic congestion north of the bridge, exactly at the intersection of Le Thanh Nghi - Cach Mang Thang Tam - Thang Long – an approach road leading to the bridge, has appeared over the past years, especially during peak hours.
