Hue, Vietnam, is set to open the Thuan An sea-crossing bridge, the longest in the central region, by the end of April, enhancing connections across key economic zones. Local authorities have accelerated completion and decoration work, aligning the launch with the country's Reunification Day celebrations. The bridge, spanning 2.36 km with a connected 5.3-km road network, was developed with an investment of VND2.4 trillion (US$96 million).

The project is crucial for linking Hue with neighboring Quang Binh and Da Nang, as well as integrating the East-West Economic Corridor connecting Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Officials anticipate that the 20-meter-wide, four-lane bridge will foster a 1,500-hectare beach urban zone, drawing investment for the Thuan An Township and Chan May-Lang Co Economic Zone.

This infrastructure upgrade is part of a broader plan to enhance Hue’s connectivity and economic potential. It includes ongoing construction on the National North-South Expressway, the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park, and the strategic Chan May-Lang Co Economic Zone. The developments aim to boost local economic growth, focusing on tourism, seaports, and industrial parks.

Looking ahead, these projects are expected to significantly impact regional development, attracting both domestic and international investors. Local leaders continue to emphasize the importance of infrastructure in driving economic growth and competitiveness in the region.
