An Giang Sea Bridge: 109 Girders Cast, Completion Expected in 2028
Construction is accelerating on an An Giang sea bridge with an investment of nearly VND 3.9 trillion. As of November 11, 2026, 109 of its 176 girders had been cast. A contractor responsible for more than VND 1 trillion of work was previously removed after construction delays.
The Rạch Giá–An Biên sea bridge project in An Giang province is about 3.5 km long, with six lanes and a total investment of nearly VND 3.9 trillion. Construction began on September 30, 2025. The main bridge across Rạch Giá Bay is 1,439 m long, the bridge across a river branch connecting to an island is 155 m long, and the road on the island is about 1,170 m long. Approach roads at both ends make up the remainder.
Đào Huy Hiệp, deputy director of the An Giang Department of Construction, said the site currently has 10 construction fronts and 101 technicians, engineers and workers, with additional factory staff producing girders and processing steel structures. Contractors have deployed nine cranes, five bored-pile drilling rigs and other equipment. The project requires 176 Super-T prestressed concrete girders, each about 35 to 40 m long. Of these, 132 are planned to be installed using cranes on the water, while the other 44 will be installed with girder-lifting equipment.
As of November 11, 2026, contractors had cast 109 girders, about 62% of the planned total. All bored piles for the bridge across the river branch have been completed, as have the 28 piles for pier T13 of the main bridge. The project owner has requested more steel and an additional concrete mixing plant to keep construction on schedule.

In late May 2026, the An Giang Department of Construction terminated its contract with Công ty CP Đầu tư Xây dựng và Kỹ thuật VNCN E&C. The company was responsible for about VND 1.047 trillion of work and had received an advance payment of about VND 314 billion, but its work was found to be more than six months behind schedule. The company subsequently asked for the termination decision to be reconsidered. In June, the project owner asked a bank to fulfill its guarantee obligations to recover more than VND 293 billion in advance payments associated with the company.
The remaining contractors were then instructed to revise their schedules and add equipment and personnel. An official from the An Giang Department of Construction said the contractors are now largely meeting their monthly construction plans. The sea bridge section is expected to gradually take shape by mid-2027, with the entire project scheduled for completion on October 19, 2028.
