The People's Council of Kien Giang province has decided to approve the investment policy of the project to build a bridge on the coastal road connecting An Bien - Rach Gia city.

According to the leaders of Kien Giang province, the starting point of the project is in Tay Yen commune (An Bien district), the end point is at the intersection of 3/2 street and Ngo Quang Hon street (Rach Gia city). The total length of the route is 3.71km, of which the Rach Gia bay overpass is about 2.8km long.

The project has a total investment of 3,900 billion VND from the state budget. In the 2021-2025 period, the project will be allocated 1,050 billion VND, and in the 2026-2030 period, 2,850 billion VND.

The construction of the above-mentioned sea bridge aims to gradually complete the coastal route, connecting and linking the region through Rach Gia city, An Bien district to Ca Mau province.
