My Thuan 2 Bridge is located upstream, parallel to the existing My Thuan Bridge, spanning the Tien River connecting the Trung Luong - My Thuan and My Thuan - Can Tho expressways. The photos were taken in mid-late August, during the days when workers were racing against time to complete the project...
My Thuan 2 Bridge with two parts gradually getting closer together, in the distance is the existing My Thuan Bridge - a symbolic construction of the West, inaugurated in May 2000.
Workers are still working hard on My Thuan 2 Bridge in the late afternoon. Perhaps, there is no more beautiful moment than when dawn and dusk fall on the river, dyeing the vast sky red.

The My Thuan 2 Bridge project started construction in February 2020, with a total investment of about 5,000 billion VND. This is the largest cable-stayed bridge designed and constructed entirely by Vietnamese contractors.
The bridge has a total length of 6.61 km, of which the main bridge is about 1.9 km long, designed with 6 lanes, and a design speed of 80 km/h. The approach roads at both ends of the bridge are 4.7 km long, the part in Tien Giang province is 4.3 km long and the Vinh Long side is 0.4 km long.

The two bridges are gradually narrowing over the river.
The gap is gradually closing, waiting for the closing date, expected in mid-October.
My Thuan 2 Bridge is parallel to its "brother" built 23 years earlier.
My Thuan 2 Bridge is expected to be completed by the end of 2023, along with Trung Luong - My Thuan and My Thuan - Can Tho expressways, which will complete the expressway route connecting Ho Chi Minh City to Can Tho, shortening travel time from 4 hours currently to about 2 hours in the near future.
According to Project Management Board 7 (Ministry of Transport), the event of joining the two border spans of My Thuan 2 Bridge is one of the important milestones of the project. It is expected that the main span of the project will be joined by October and the My Thuan 2 Bridge will be completed and put into operation by the end of December 2023.

The main package XL03B, which constructs the pier body from T14-T17 and the upper structure of the main cable-stayed span and the river embankment, has so far reached about 80%, meeting the progress requirements. In the photo is the approach road to the bridge with 6 lanes.
The road leading up to the bridge is lined with fruit gardens of Tien Giang people.

Mr. Trinh Truong Hai - Executive Director of My Thuan Bridge Project, Project Management Board 7 said that during the September 2nd holiday, the construction site still maintains 200 engineers and workers working day and night to ensure the project is completed on schedule.
According to our observation, the bridge and approach road on the Vinh Long side have been merged, and the bridge and approach road on the Tien Giang side are also being urgently constructed to prepare for merger.
