Vietnam`s Ho Chi Minh City has decided to invest nearly 360 million U.S. dollars in building a 3.4-km bridge, replacing an overloaded ferry and helping foster tourism, the municipal authorities said Tuesday.
The four-lane Can Gio Bridge will be constructed 55 meters above Soai Rap River, linking the rural district of Can Gio with the inner city.
