TLDR

  • The Mimosa Pass overpass in Da Lat, Vietnam, is nearing completion and is expected to open before the April 30-May 1 holiday.
  • The new overpass, also known as Xuan Huong Bridge, spans 133 meters and was built to replace a section of road destroyed by landslides.
  • Construction began in mid-December 2025 and was completed in a rapid four months, costing over 33 billion Vietnamese dong.

The vital Mimosa Pass overpass, a crucial artery connecting Da Lat to the surrounding regions, is set to open its lanes to traffic just in time for the upcoming national holiday. This significant infrastructure project, officially named Xuan Huong Bridge, stands as a testament to the swift and efficient work of our construction teams.

Following the severe landslides that ravaged the original Mimosa Pass late last year, necessitating emergency repairs and causing repeated disruptions, the decision was made to construct this modern overpass. The new structure not only ensures the long-term safety and reliability of this strategic route but also facilitates the smooth transport of goods, agricultural products, and passengers between Da Lat and Ho Chi Minh City, as well as other southeastern provinces.

Completed in a remarkable four months after breaking ground in mid-December 2025, the 133-meter-long overpass represents a significant investment of over 33 billion Vietnamese dong. Its imminent opening before the April 30 and May 1 holidays will be a welcome relief for travelers and a boon for the region's economy, underscoring Vietnam's commitment to developing robust infrastructure.
