The feasibility study is being handled for a stretch of Vietnam’s North-South highway project. The project is likely to cost US$5.22 billion, of which $2.8 billion will be provided by private funding sources, with the remainder coming from the Vietnamese Government’s sources.

Vietnam’s Department of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Projects has urged the bodies involved with eight PPP sub-projects to complete feasibility studies for these within agreed schedules. Meanwhile, the tender process is being outlined for the My Thuan 2 Bridge. A contractor is to be selected to manage the feasibility plans shortly, with tasks including appraisal consultancy, environmental impact evaluation, site clearance framework and pre-feasibility evaluation.

However this project is likely to be highly expensive and its future depends on decisions yet to be made by the country’s government.
