Phu My Bridge, over 2 km long, opened to traffic in 2009 after four years of construction, built under a BOT contract at a total investment of nearly VND2.1 trillion ($80 million). Spanning the Saigon River to link District 7 with Thu Duc City, the cable-stayed bridge has a clearance of 45 m, the highest of any bridge in Ho Chi Minh City. It is 27.5 m wide with six lanes, a 350-m main span, and towers 160.5 m tall.
Part of Ring Road 2, it connects Nguyen Van Linh and Vo Chi Cong streets and serves traffic to and from Cat Lai and Phu Huu ports, carrying nearly 30,000 vehicles a day, mostly heavy trucks.
