Dong Nai province is spending nearly 6,000 billion VND to expand provincial road 769 to Long Thanh airport.

The overall project cost is nearly 5.9 trillion VND.

Dong Nai province plans to invest nearly 5,900 billion VND to upgrade and expand provincial road 769. This is a crucial transportation artery, nearly 30 km long, playing a direct role in connecting to Long Thanh International Airport, which is expected to become operational in 2026.

Overview of Provincial Road 769 in Dong Nai Province — The project to upgrade and expand Provincial Road 769 spans nearly 30 km; the starting point intersects with National Highway 1 at Dau Giay intersection, Dau Giay commune, Dong Nai province; the end point intersects with National Highway 51 at Loc An intersection, Long Thanh commune, Dong Nai province.

According to the plan, the project's starting point intersects with National Highway 1 at the Dau Giay intersection (Dau Giay commune) and its end point intersects with National Highway 51 at the Loc An intersection (Long Thanh commune). Upgrading this road is expected to shorten travel time from localities within the province, as well as from the Central Highlands and South Central provinces, to Long Thanh Airport, while also reducing congestion on National Highway 1.

Scale and implementation schedule

The project is divided into four sections. Sections 1, 3, and 4 will be developed with 6 lanes for motorized vehicles and 2 lanes for mixed traffic. Section 2 will have 6 lanes for motorized vehicles.
