Da Nang’s Tam Tiến Bridge project, linking Tam Tiến and Tam Xuân 1 communes in Nui Thành district, Quảng Nam province (now Tam Xuân, Da Nang City), was approved in May 2019 with total investment of about 220 billion VND and a route length of more than 4 km. The project is led by the former Nui Thanh District People’s Committee as the investor, with Thanh Tung Co., Ltd. as the contractor. The stated objectives include improving transport infrastructure, strengthening regional connectivity, attracting investment, supporting disaster relief, and promoting socio-economic development.
Under the original plan, the project was expected to be completed in September 2022. After multiple extensions, it remains unfinished. Authorities cited compensation and site clearance issues as the main reason for the delays.
On site clearance, Mr. Nguyen Chi Dan, Chairman of Tam Xuan Commune, said progress differs across segments:
Recently, Da Nang City Vice Chairman Tran Nam Hung ordered accelerated progress on the remaining works of Tam Tiến Bridge and the access road. City leadership required the investor to promptly coordinate with Tam Xuân authorities to hand over remaining documents and quantities of work.
In parallel, the investor—working with the contractor and relevant authorities—was directed to review and develop a detailed plan to continue implementing the remaining components of the project.
With the bridge still not completed, residents’ travel is being affected. To move from the eastern bank of the Trường Giang River toward National Highway 1, residents must detour more than 10 km.
Da Nang City’s People’s Committee Deputy Chairman directed that compensation, site clearance, and handover of the remaining area be completed by June 2026. The contractor is required to mobilize full manpower, equipment, and materials, and to study construction solutions to accelerate progress while ensuring safety and quality. The target is to complete and open the entire project by April 30, 2027.
