The Binh Khanh Bridge project in Ho Chi Minh City, part of the J1 package, Ben Luc-Long Thanh Expressway, is currently in its final stages of completion. The project has now completed 98% of the construction volume and is expected to be completed by the end of August.

Binh Khanh Bridge, spanning the Soai Rap River, connecting Hiep Phuoc Commune with Binh Khanh Commune, was started in August 2025 with a total investment of more than VND 2,800 billion. 2.76 km long, of which the main bridge is 763 m long, the project has a two-plane cable-stayed design, H-shaped tower 135 m high, 55 m clearance, considered the tallest in Vietnam. Having been stalled since the end of 2018 when only about 70% of the volume was achieved due to ODA capital problems, the project is currently accelerating construction to finish on schedule.

Construction started in August 2015, but by the end of 2018, when only about 70% of the volume had been completed, the project was forced to temporarily stop. During the implementation process, the package was affected from January 2019 to October 2022 due to problems with ODA capital arrangement. It was not until the end of 2023, with the determination to restart the Ben Luc-Long Thanh expressway project, that Binh Khanh bridge was officially resumed.

The bridge has a total length of more than 2.76km, of which the main bridge is 763m long. The two-plane cable-stayed design with a 135m high H-shaped tower not only has a modern aesthetic but also ensures a load-bearing structure with a clearance of up to 55m.

The double-plane cable-stayed design with a 135m high H-shaped tower not only has modern aesthetics but also ensures load-bearing structure, with a clearance of up to 55m.

It is the largest cable-stayed bridge on the Ben Luc-Long Thanh expressway.

Binh Khanh Bridge plays a key role in the East-West connection axis of the South.

Many self-propelled cranes and large trucks continuously transport materials and equipment to the construction site, creating an urgent construction atmosphere along the entire route.

At the Binh Khanh bridge construction site, workers and machines are busy working to ensure the traffic opening progress according to plan.

Items such as median strips, railings and lighting systems are under construction.

When officially put into operation, Binh Khanh Bridge will contribute to reducing traffic congestion and pressure on National Highway 1A, National Highway 51 and Ho Chi Minh City-Long Thanh-Dau Giay Expressway, promoting socio-economic development and ensuring national defense and security in the southern key economic region.
