Road 15B: The trillion-dollar traffic axis connecting Phu My Hung - Can Gio Bridge

The 15B road project is more than 3.5 km long and 40 m wide, and is proposed to be invested with Phu Xuan 2B bridge to synchronize infrastructure and promote the effectiveness of the Can Gio bridge super project in the future.

Overview of the 15B road project

Road 15B (the extension of Nguyen Luong Bang Street) is one of the key infrastructure projects in the South of Ho Chi Minh City, which is identified as playing an important role in completing the traffic network and connecting to the Can Gio Bridge project. This route runs parallel to Huynh Tan Phat Street, starting at Nguyen Van Linh Street and ending at the temporary wharf area near Rach Dia.

The project to build Road 15B was approved by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council in 2015. However, the project has not been implemented yet because the city has not balanced its capital sources. Currently, preparations for inventory and compensation for site clearance are ready to be implemented as soon as capital is available.

The project to build Road 15B was approved by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council in 2015. However, the project has not yet been implemented because the City has not yet balanced its capital sources. The project is now ready for inventory work to immediately carry out compensation and site clearance work.

Technical specifications and detailed planning

According to the plan, Road 15B has a length of more than 3.5 km and a cross-section width of 40 m. The specific route of the route is as follows:

• Starting point: Intersection with Nguyen Binh Street, the area planned to connect with Can Gio Bridge.
• Route: The route passes through Phu Xuan Residential Area, continues north through Hong Linh Residential Area and Minh Long Residential Area.
• End point: Ends at Ben Tam area (Rach Dia), connecting to existing road 15B.

Road 15B is more than 3.5 km long and 40 m wide. The starting point is at Nguyen Binh Street (Can Gio Bridge connection area), then the route passes through Phu Xuan Residential Area. From Phu Xuan Residential Area, the route continues north, passes through Hong Linh Residential Area and Minh Long Residential Area and ends at Ben Tam area (Rach Dia).

Strategic connecting role for Can Gio bridge and Phu My Hung urban area

The implementation of Highway 15B is crucial to the effectiveness of the Can Gio Bridge project. The Can Gio Bridge, with a planned length of 7.3 km across the Soai Rap River, will replace the Binh Khanh ferry, creating a direct connection between Can Gio and the city center. The route of this bridge depends directly on the progress of Highway 15B.

The HCM City Department of Transport (now the Department of Construction) said that it has completed the dossier for the Can Gio Bridge across the Soai Rap River, connecting the South of HCM City - Can Gio area. This is an important project to replace the Binh Khanh ferry route connecting Can Gio with the rest of HCM City. The proposed route of the Can Gio Bridge is about 7.3 km long. However, the proposed route of the Can Gio Bridge depends on the progress of the implementation of Road 15B in the planning of the old Nha Be district.

When completed, Road 15B will not only serve residential areas along the route but also create a direct connection from Can Gio Bridge to Phu My Hung Urban Area. This is a model urban area and the largest economic and financial center in the South of Ho Chi Minh City, with a scale of about 2,600 hectares.

The route passes through the current Phu Xuan residential area. When this route is completed, not only will the above residential areas be connected to Can Gio Bridge, the route will also directly connect this bridge to Phu My Hung urban area - the largest urban area in the south of the city at present, with a total area of ​​about 2,600 hectares.

Phu My Hung urban area is located along Nguyen Van Linh Avenue and 15B Street (Nguyen Luong Bang Street). After more than 30 years (from 1993 to present) of planning, this area has become a model urban area of ​​Vietnam, the center of finance, trade, services, industry, science, culture, education , residence, entertainment of Ho Chi Minh City today.

Proposal to build Phu Xuan 2B bridge to synchronize infrastructure

To complete the connection, the Department of Transport (now the Department of Construction) also proposed to build Phu Xuan 2B bridge. This bridge will connect from the new 15B road (Nha Be district), cross Dia canal to connect to the existing 15B road.

The Phu Xuan 2B bridge project is about 660 m long and 30 m wide, with a total estimated investment of 754 billion VND from the city budget. Like Road 15B, this project was also approved in principle in 2015 but has not been implemented.

In parallel with this project, the Department of Transport (now the Department of Construction) also proposed to build Phu Xuan 2B bridge connecting from Highway 15B (Nha Be district), crossing Dia canal to connect to the existing Highway 15B.

Phu Xuan 2B Bridge is about 660 m long, 30 m wide, with a total investment of about 754 billion VND from the Ho Chi Minh City budget. The Phu Xuan 2B Bridge project was previously approved by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council in 2015 along with Road 15B, but has not yet been implemented.

Synchronous implementation plan

According to the plan, Can Gio Bridge is expected to start construction in 2025 and be completed in 2028. To ensure the synchronization and maximize the effectiveness of this project, the Department of Transport has proposed that the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee allocate capital to invest in Route 15B and Phu Xuan 2B Bridge in the period of 2024 - 2027.

According to the plan, if approved in principle, Can Gio Bridge is expected to start construction in 2025 and be completed in 2028. Therefore, the Department proposed that the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee allocate investment capital for Route 15B and Phu Xuan 2B Bridge in the period of 2024 - 2027 to synchronize the connection and promote the effectiveness of Can Gio Bridge.

The early implementation of these projects is a necessary step in the context of the South Saigon area being promoted with infrastructure investment with a series of other projects such as Thu Thiem 4 bridge, Nguyen Khoi road and bridge, expansion of National Highway 50 and Ben Luc - Long Thanh expressway.

An existing road area inside Phu Xuan residential area, route 15B will also connect to this road axis. Currently, the South Saigon area is being promoted with a series of projects that have been and will be implemented in the time such as Thu Thiem 4 bridge, Nguyen Khoi bridge, expanding National Highway 50, expanding the North - South axis, completing Ben Luc - Long Thanh expressway, Phu My 2 bridge...
