On September 25, the contractor for the Ho Chi Minh road (Chon Thanh - Duc Hoa section passing through Ho Chi Minh City) set up barriers, warnings and used rocks and soil to close many sections of this road to complete 4 bridges, including: Kenh Phuoc Hoa bridge, Ba Tu bridge, Thi Tinh bridge and Cay Truong bridge.
According to the construction unit, although Ho Chi Minh road (section through Ho Chi Minh City) has not been technically opened to traffic and has not been officially completed and put into use, it is still under construction, so traffic on this route is limited as much as possible.
The construction unit said the road sections will be temporarily closed for about 10 days (from September 22) to complete the expansion joints of the four bridges mentioned above.
The Ho Chi Minh Road section passing through Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Binh Duong province) has a total length of 31.5 km, expected to open to traffic on April 30, 2025, but so far it has not been able to be implemented due to land acquisition problems.
On this route, there are a total of 6 bridges including the 4 bridges mentioned above and Rach Tre bridge; Thanh An bridge (crossing the Saigon river connecting to Tay Ninh province, is the longest bridge on the route with a length of 600 m, completed since the beginning of 2025).
Observations by Thanh Nien reporters show that up to now, Ho Chi Minh road has been installed with signs and painted road markings, but traffic lights have not been installed because there are still many intersections with some branch roads that have not been completed due to site clearance problems.
The Ho Chi Minh Road section through Ho Chi Minh City (Km10+000 - Km41+150) was started in November 2023 by Deo Ca Group as the winning bidder for package XL1, constructing the road section and including Kenh Phuoc Hoa bridge, Cay Truong bridge, Ba Tu bridge, Thi Tinh bridge, Suoi Tre bridge, Thanh An bridge; expected to be completed in 2026.
