Bình Khánh Bridge (Vietnamese: Cầu Bình Khánh) is an under-construction cable-stayed bridge spanning the Soài Rạp river between the suburban districts of Nhà Bè and Cần Giờ in southern Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.[1] [2] The bridge is part of the Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway, the section of North–South Expressway East bypassing the urban area of Ho Chi Minh City.[3] [4]
The bridge features a total length of 2763.5m (9,066.6feet) and a width of 21.75m (71.36feet), carrying two lanes in each direction.[5] [6] Construction of the bridge began in August 2015 and was scheduled to complete in 2019, but was then suspended and was not resumed until 2023. Upon its completion, Bình Khánh Bridge will be one of two bridges with the highest clearance for waterway traffic in Vietnam. The other is the Phước Khánh Bridge spanning the Long Tau river, which is also a part of the Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway.
