The bridge is expected to reduce congestion and promote production and business.

The total investment cost is around VND8.3 trillion ($352.2 million), to be derived from the city’s budget. Construction is expected to be done in four years, from 2023 to 2027. The main investor would be the Hanoi Management Board for Traffic Infrastructure Investment and Construction Projects.
