Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) has signed a decision approving the investment policy for the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway expansion project, Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh section, with a total investment of over VND16,386 billion.
Of which, the state budget capital is 6,500 billion VND, bank and credit institution loans are 7,900 billion VND and the remaining nearly 2,000 billion VND is VEC's own capital (including interest).
The project implementation period is from 2025 to 2027. The project will be basically completed in 2026 under the direction of Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha.
According to VEC, the project to expand the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh expressway section (part of the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway) is nearly 22km long.
Starting point at Km4+000 (Ring Road 2 intersection), Thu Duc city (HCMC).
End point at Km25+920 (Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway intersection) in Long Thanh district, Dong Nai .
Regarding the route, the project has a basic route centerline following the old road, expanding to both sides. The section across Long Thanh bridge is expanded to the right of the existing route (downstream).
Regarding the scale of the project, the section from the intersection of Ring Road 2 to the intersection of Ring Road 3 of Ho Chi Minh City (Km4+000-Km8+844.5) will be invested in expanding from 4 lanes to 8 lanes.

As for Long Thanh bridge, invest in building a new bridge unit with a scale of 5 complete lanes in the direction from Ho Chi Minh City to Long Thanh, on the right side of the existing bridge.
Also according to VEC, the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh expressway expansion project is invested in with the aim of completing this expressway according to the approved planning scale, meeting the increasing transportation demand, shortening time, reducing transportation costs, contributing to convenient connection to Long Thanh airport and Ho Chi Minh City, serving economic and social development, contributing to ensuring security and defense for the key economic region in the South.
At the same time, increase the competitiveness of the economy in the context of deep integration.
The expanded highway is divided into 3 component projects.
According to VEC, the construction site of the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh Expressway expansion project involves Thu Duc City and Nhon Trach, Long Thanh, Dong Nai districts. The land area for site clearance in the two areas is nearly 7 hectares and the cost of compensation, support, and resettlement is over 967 billion VND.
The Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh Expressway expansion project is divided into three component projects.
Specifically, component project 1 of the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh expressway expansion is managed by VEC as the managing agency and investor.
As for component projects 2 and 3, which are compensation, support and resettlement projects, they will be implemented by Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai.
The 55km-long Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway is an important traffic route connecting Ho Chi Minh City with the Southeast region. However, in recent years, this expressway has become overloaded and traffic jams often occur.
The expansion of the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway from the intersection of Ho Chi Minh City's Ring Road 2 to the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway intersection, about 22km long, is very urgent in the context of Long Thanh airport being put into operation.
