Earlier in January 2017, the right branch of the overpass was completed, two months ahead of the progress.

As part of a BOT project upgrading National Highway 1A, the overpass will connect An Suong Intersection in District 12 with An Lac in Binh Chanh District, with the aim of helping reduce traffic pressure for this area.

The Go May Overpass was built with a total investment of over VND511 billion (US$23 million) by the Vietnam Urban and Industrial Zone Development Investment Corporation (IDICO) alongside Highway 1A, measuring 538m long and 24.2m wide with four automobile lanes and two mixed lanes.

The facility is equipped with a surveillance camera system linked with the city’s traffic control centre through fiber-optic signal connection. It is designed for a maximum driving speed of 80kph.
