Ho Chi Minh City will approve the project to expand the access road to the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway (from An Phu intersection to Ring Road 2) in April for construction to start in the third quarter of 2025.

This information was announced by Mr. Tran Quang Lam, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport at the Conference between the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee and the People's Committees of the Southeast provinces held on January 15 in Ho Chi Minh City.

At the conference, Mr. Tran Quang Lam said that the project to expand the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway (from An Phu intersection to Ring Road 2) has been approved by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council in principle for investment with a scale of 8 lanes (not including parallel roads on both sides).

The project is 4 km long, with a total investment of VND 938.9 billion from the Ho Chi Minh City budget.

Currently, Ho Chi Minh City is preparing a feasibility study report and is expected to complete the contractor selection and contract signing procedures in 2 days.

According to the plan, the project's pre-feasibility report will be approved in April 2025 and construction will start in the third quarter of 2025, and put into operation in 2026.

Regarding these projects, at the conference, Chairman of Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee Vo Tan Duc proposed that Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai closely coordinate with the Ministry of Transport to soon start construction of this project so that it can be put into operation in September 2026 in sync with Long Thanh International Airport.

Along with the project to expand the road connecting to the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway, Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai are agreeing on the plan and regulations for coordinating investment in Cat Lai Bridge, Phu My 2 Bridge, and Long Thanh 2 Bridge in the near future.

Currently, the road leading to the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway is often congested due to overload. Statistics from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport show that since its inauguration in 2016, the traffic volume has continuously increased (an average of 11.12% per year).

In particular, the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh section is forecasted to have a traffic volume of about 72,254 CPUs/day and night by 2025, exceeding 25% of the current 4-lane capacity.

Therefore, it is urgent to invest in expanding the expressway section from Ho Chi Minh City to Long Thanh, including the section from An Phu intersection to Ring Road 2, from 4 lanes to 8 lanes.
