According to the investor, the project to build a bridge across the Ganh Hao River aims to gradually complete the transport infrastructure system according to the approved planning of the two provinces of Bac Lieu and Ca Mau. In addition, the project creates a road connecting the Song Doc estuary (Ca Mau province) with the Ganh Hao estuary (Bac Lieu province), shortening the travel time, transporting passengers and goods, meeting the increasing transportation demand; contributing to attracting investment, creating momentum to promote socio-economic development of the two southernmost provinces of the country in particular and the region in general.
