After December 2025, traffic will travel via branches A, D, E. Photo: Pham Tung

For the Dong Nai side, there will be 2 car lanes and 2 mixed lanes from Provincial Road 25B to Nhon Trach Bridge (motorbikes are only allowed to travel from Provincial Road 25B to Ly Tu Trong Street). Level crossings at 3 existing level crossings (Provincial Roads 25B, 769 and Ly Tu Trong Street) will be conducted through temporary roads and traffic will be organized using a system of signs combined with traffic lights.
