From May 30 to July 11, Phu My Bridge (HCMC) will carry out road surface repair construction in the direction from Cat Lai Port to District 7. To avoid prolonged traffic jams, drivers are advised to clearly understand the alternative routes below.

Phu My Bridge is about 2 km long, located on the Ring Road 2 route, acting as a lifeline connecting the East and South of HCMC. With an extremely large density of trucks and container trucks, the slope sections at both ends of the bridge are "hot spots" with potential risks of collisions and hours of traffic jams when incidents occur. Therefore, actively changing routes in the next 1.5 months is very necessary.

1. Alternative Routes for Container Trucks and Heavy Trucks

For large transport vehicles departing from Cat Lai Port, drivers can choose 1 of the following 2 directions to head towards District 7 / Nguyen Van Linh:

• Direction 1: Cat Lai Port towards Nguyen Thi Dinh Street - My Thuy Roundabout - Go straight on Dong Van Cong - Mai Chi Tho - Vo Nguyen Giap - National Highway 1 - Nguyen Van Linh.

• Direction 2: Cat Lai Port towards Nguyen Thi Dinh Street - My Thuy Roundabout - Turn right onto Vo Chi Công - Through the Hi-Tech Park - D2 Street - D1 Street - National Highway 1 - Nguyen Van Linh.

2. Alternative Routes for Cars under 16 Seats

Passenger cars, tourist cars, and small buses under 16 seats from Cat Lai Port follow this route into the city center:

• Route: Cat Lai Port - Nguyen Thi Dinh - My Thuy Roundabout - Dong Van Cong - Mai Chi Tho - Saigon River Tunnel - Vo Van Kiệt - Calmette Bridge - Hoang Dieu - Nguyen Tat Thanh - Nguyen Van Linh.

3. Routes for Vehicles Departing from the Hi-Tech Park

Vehicles traveling from the Hi-Tech Park direction heading towards the south of the city travel as follows:

• Route: Vo Chi Cong - Access road of the HCMC - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway - Mai Chi Tho - Saigon River Tunnel - Vo Van Kiet - Cross Calmette Bridge (or Ong Lanh Bridge) - Nguyen Van Linh.

4. Important Notes for Road Users

• Motorbikes: Allowed to travel normally across Phu My Bridge during the construction period.

• Recommendation from HCMC Traffic Police Department: When passing through the repair area, drivers must slow down, pay attention to the warning sign system, and strictly obey the instructions of the traffic control force.

Previously in July 2022, Phu My Bridge also had to temporarily block part of the road to repair expansion joints for 3 months. Actively updating new routes will help transport businesses and drivers optimize time and avoid losses caused by traffic jams.
