Launching the nearly 400 billion VND intersection to prevent traffic jams at the northwest gateway of Ho Chi Minh City

Khởi động nút giao gần 400 tỉ đồng chống ùn tắc cửa ngõ Tây Bắc TP.HCM - Ảnh 1. — National Highway 1 is currently the main traffic axis, but vehicles passing through Dinh intersection often get stuck, especially during rush hour.

The project has a total investment of 397.5 billion VND, of which the most important is the construction package worth more than 178 billion VND. The Traffic Department plans to bid to select the main contractor in the fourth quarter of this year to urgently construct the project.

The project to build the Dinh intersection was approved by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council in 2016 and was registered by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee for investment preparation at the end of 2019. However, the project has been struggling for many years from capital allocation to design consulting stages, and now has a plan to start.

Dinh crossroads intersection is located in the northwest gateway of Ho Chi Minh City with the main project being the construction of a 600m overpass on National Highway 1, of which the bridge is 240m long and more than 17m wide for 4 lanes. The project has a lifespan of 100 years and can withstand earthquakes of level 7. At the same time, three routes through the intersection including Nguyen Van Qua, Tan Thoi Hiep 20 and Nguyen Thi Dang are being expanded. The drainage system, lighting, trees... around are being completely built.

According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport, National Highway 1 is currently the main traffic axis, but vehicles passing through Dinh intersection often get stuck, especially during rush hour. When completed, the overpass will accommodate vehicles traveling at 80 km per hour, along with the expansion of the road through the intersection, helping to reduce congestion in the area.

Along with Dinh intersection, the HCM City Department of Transport proposed that the city soon allocate investment capital for 15 other large intersections to synchronize the traffic network and reduce congestion in areas such as Linh Xuan intersection (National Highway 1 - 1K), Nguyen Thi Dinh - Nguyen Duy Trinh (Thu Duc City); Bon Xa intersection (Thoai Ngoc Hau - Huong Lo 2 - Le Van Quoi, Tan Phu and Binh Tan districts)...
