Many infrastructure projects invested with BOT and BT capital sources such as: Saigon 2 Bridge, Ba Son Bridge, Pham Van Dong Street, Hanoi Highway expansion... after being put into operation have contributed to promoting socio-economic development for Ho Chi Minh City.

Phu My Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge connecting Thu Duc City with District 7, was invested in the form of BOT and inaugurated in 2009. This project plays an important role in connecting traffic between seaports and promoting the circulation of goods between Cat Lai and Phu Huu ports and the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway.

Nguyen Van Linh Street, 17.8 km long, including 10 lanes, is invested in the form of BT. The project connects Huynh Tan Phat Street, District 7 to National Highway 1 (section passing through Binh Chanh), connecting to the Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong Expressway. This is a vital route connecting to key projects such as: Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone, Phu My Hung Urban Area, Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park, Hiep Phuoc Port, etc.

Pham Van Dong Street (formerly Tan Son Nhat - Binh Loi Street), invested in the form of BT with a capital of 340 million USD. The project was invested with 12 lanes, completed in 2013. The route helps directly connect Tan Son Nhat Airport with Thu Duc City and Binh Duong and Dong Nai provinces.

The project to expand Hanoi Highway (now Vo Nguyen Giap Street) was invested in the form of BOT with a budget of more than 4,900 billion VND. This is a vital traffic axis, connecting Ho Chi Minh City with Dong Nai province to go to the Central and Northern provinces.

Saigon Bridge 2 (left), invested under the BT method with a total investment capital of 1,495 billion VND. The project, put into operation in 2013, has relieved traffic congestion at the northeastern gateway of the city.
