The An Phu intersection always experiences a very high volume of traffic, especially container trucks. Therefore, the construction of the three-level interchange is being prioritized and expedited to ensure the entire project is completed by April 2025.

According to the project investor, the consulting unit and the project owner are studying a plan to close the Mai Chi Tho - Dong Van Cong intersection for 4 months to simultaneously construct the underpass and overpass there, thereby shortening the project's timeline.
