00:00:05.272 --> 00:00:09.052 
After many years of waiting, today,
January 15, the Cat Lai bridge 

00:00:09.052 --> 00:00:11.572 
construction investment project crossing
the Dong Nai River, 

00:00:11.952 --> 00:00:15.872 
connecting Dai Phuoc commune, Dong Nai
name and Cat Lai ward, Thach Phat Chi 

00:00:15.872 --> 00:00:17.272 
Minh has officially started construction. 

00:00:17.272 --> 00:00:20.212 
This is the longing for the past 30
years of the people of Dong 

00:00:20.212 --> 00:00:21.472 
Nai and Thach Phat Chi Minh. 

00:00:21.912 --> 00:00:25.942 
Since 1994, Dong Nai has cherished
building a bridge, replacing 

00:00:25.942 --> 00:00:27.152 
and Cat Lai. 

00:00:27.572 --> 00:00:30.512 
In this life, the wishes of the people
of Dong Nai and Thach Phat 

00:00:30.512 --> 00:00:31.772 
Chi Minh have become a reality. 

00:00:31.772 --> 00:00:35.935 
Many people across the hills and banks
could not hide their joy, hoping that 

00:00:35.935 --> 00:00:38.612 
travel and trade would be more convenient and safer. 

00:00:38.952 --> 00:00:41.832 
opening up opportunities for
socio-economic development for the region. 

00:00:42.776 --> 00:00:47.197 
People here are very happy, a little bit
of transportation is here, it's fast, 

00:00:47.197 --> 00:00:48.776 
it's no longer a problem. 

00:00:48.776 --> 00:00:52.526 
This disease of the larynx is not
heaven, it is difficult for 

00:00:52.526 --> 00:00:53.776 
people in this heaven. 

00:00:53.776 --> 00:00:58.776 
But now that there is a bridge, people
are comfortable, everything is quick. 

00:00:59.278 --> 00:01:01.238 
The ceremony is very crowded, crowded in here. 

00:01:02.098 --> 00:01:04.718 
It's stuck, but if it affects it, it
can be sold, it's stuck in here. 

00:01:05.758 --> 00:01:08.021 
It's been a long time since I heard
about it, but now that I've started 

00:01:08.021 --> 00:01:09.378 
working, I feel happy, I see people going happily. 

00:01:09.958 --> 00:01:11.982 
Passing the ferry requires waiting,
waiting for the ferry, then passing 

00:01:11.982 --> 00:01:13.638 
through traffic jams and passing for a long time. 

00:01:16.104 --> 00:01:19.280 
So holidays, Tet holidays are every year
stuck, no year is not 

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:20.604 
stuck, every year is stuck. 

00:01:20.984 --> 00:01:23.824 
It's jammed from here up to
the middle school, every year. 

00:01:24.964 --> 00:01:28.710 
Many times traffic is allowed, but in
the parking lot, traffic goes down here 

00:01:28.710 --> 00:01:32.724 
all the time, no cars are allowed, for
example, trucks do not go down here. 

00:01:33.444 --> 00:01:37.213 
If the highway school gets stuck, the
ferry will run at full capacity, not in 

00:01:37.213 --> 00:01:39.224 
time, hundreds of thousands of times like that. 

00:01:39.224 --> 00:01:42.725 
It's as easy as brokers weighing faster,
whatever you say, brokers weigh faster, 

00:01:42.725 --> 00:01:45.957 
for example, people in the provinces
want to be fast, so they 

00:01:45.957 --> 00:01:47.304 
go to brokers, not ferries, 

00:01:48.144 --> 00:01:52.484 
If on a normal day it takes at least
15-20 minutes, and at night, another 

00:01:52.484 --> 00:01:56.824 
hour, an hour and a half to get a ferry,
how can people bear it. 

00:01:58.633 --> 00:02:02.593 
The cross-section bridge project has a
route length of more than 11.6 km, a 

00:02:02.593 --> 00:02:05.988 
scale of 6 motorcycle villages and 2
rudimentary vehicle villages, with a 

00:02:05.988 --> 00:02:08.533 
total preliminary investment of more than 20,000 billion VND. 

00:02:08.973 --> 00:02:12.828 
implemented in the form of PPP, expected
to be completed and put 

00:02:12.828 --> 00:02:14.113 
into operation in 2029. 

00:02:14.773 --> 00:02:18.529 
Construction Corporation No. 1 is the
leading unit of the investor consortium, 

00:02:18.529 --> 00:02:20.093 
selected to implement the project. 

00:02:20.213 --> 00:02:23.059 
The project has officially started
groundbreaking, marking an important 

00:02:23.059 --> 00:02:26.853 
turning point in the development of
transport infrastructure in the Southeast region. 

00:02:26.853 --> 00:02:30.592 
This not only replaces the hundred-year
driving ban, but also opens up a 

00:02:30.592 --> 00:02:33.755 
strategic traffic axis, reducing the
load on the Ho Chi Minh 

00:02:33.755 --> 00:02:35.193 
City - Long Thanh expressway. 

00:02:35.473 --> 00:02:38.771 
at the same time, the project carries
many expectations, becoming a backbone, 

00:02:38.771 --> 00:02:40.970 
connecting the inter-regional
development space, especially in the 

00:02:40.970 --> 00:02:43.993 
context of Long Thanh airport preparing
to be put into operation.
