Description
Planning and Design
Phuoc Khanh Bridge is being constructed as a
The bridge is designed to be 3,186 metres (10,453 ft) long and 21.75 metres (71 ft) wide.[5] When completed, Phuoc Khanh Bridge and Binh Khanh Bridge would be the two bridges with the highest clearance for boat traffic in Vietnam (55 meters).[6][7] It plans to allow for four lanes of traffic at an 80 kph speed limit.[8] The initial investment capital was US$162.3 million with an opening initially slated for 2019.[8]
Construction
The groundbreaking ceremony took place on July 18, 2015, with the presence and support of the Japan International Cooperation Agency.[4] By 2018, the bridge was off schedule, with a 4.7 kilometer road that was meant to connect Phuoc Khanh and Binh Khanh bridges finished before the bridges themselves.[9] Financing issues were cited as causing delays for the bridge and the overall Ben Luc-Long Thanh expressway project in Vietnam.[10] After construction was halted in October 2019 on the Binh Khanh Bridge, officials sent inspectors in attempt to remove the financial and logistical obstacles delaying the Phuoc Khanh project.[11]
On February 21, 2021, an 8,000 ton container ship Phuc Khanh (Phúc Khánh)[12] had its engine stalled while in the Long Tau River and drifted freely until crashing into a crane on the construction site of the Phuoc Khanh bridge project.[13] This incident caused four containers to fall off the ship, and the collapse of construction-related scaffolding along the crane.[14]
