[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Tae-min] Kumho Construction announced on the 18th that it has secured the contract for the bridge construction of the ‘Nhon Trach’ Bridge, which is over 2 km long, as part of the ‘Ho Chi Minh City Third Ring Road’ project in Vietnam.

This bridge construction, solely undertaken by Kumho Construction, is a key section of the ‘Tan Van~Nhon Trach Road Construction Project Section 1A-1’ connecting the ‘Tan Van’ area in the northeast of Ho Chi Minh City and the ‘Nhon Trach’ industrial complex in Dong Nai Province in the southeast. The total construction cost amounts to 100 billion KRW.

This project is funded by the Korea Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF) and commissioned by the My Thuan Project Management Unit (PMU) under the Ministry of Transport (MOT) of Vietnam. The entire length of Section 1A-1, including the Nhon Trach Bridge, is 2.6 km (width 19.75m~20.5m, 4 lanes in both directions), and most of the section consists of civil engineering works involving bridges. The construction period is expected to take about 35 months, starting from this month.

Kumho Construction had successfully completed the ‘Lotte-Raksoi Expressway Construction Project’ commissioned by the My Thuan PMU, the client of this project, in January.

A Kumho Construction official said, “Thanks to Kumho Construction’s strong corporate image built over many years in Vietnam, we were able to secure this project,” adding, “We plan to actively participate in overseas projects not only in Vietnam but also in various countries by successfully completing this project.”
