Saigon applies final touch to major bridge after four-year delay

Thu Thiem 2 Bridge spanning the Saigon River to link downtown District 1 and Thu Duc City is expected to open to traffic in April.

With work started in 2015, Thu Thiem 2 Bridge that costs nearly VND3.1 trillion ($134.9 million) was originally scheduled for completion in 2018 but issues related to funding and site clearance had caused construction progress to drag on for four more years. Both sides of the bridge were joined last September.

By then, it had been more than 85 percent completed.
