According to the Resolution of the 1st Ho Chi Minh City Party Congress, the city will focus on investing in synchronous infrastructure and increasing regional connectivity with the provinces of Dong Nai , Tay Ninh, Dong Thap and Lam Dong.

To connect with Tay Ninh province, Ho Chi Minh City built the East-West axis road (Vo Van Kiet) extending from National Highway 1 to the border of Tay Ninh province (after merging with Long An ) and the new Northwest road (from Ring Road 2 to the border of Tay Ninh province after the merger).

Currently, Vo Van Kiet Street is 13 km long and 60 m wide, running from Calmette Bridge (formerly District 1) to National Highway 1 (formerly Binh Chanh District). This is a vital route from the center to the western gateway, contributing to changing the face of Ho Chi Minh City's traffic when it opened to traffic in 2009.

According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction, the project to extend Vo Van Kiet Street to the Tay Ninh border is nearly 15 km long, divided into 3 sections:

Section 1: From Highway 1 overpass to Tan Tao – Cho Dem intersection (Vo Tran Chi street), 2.7 km long. This section was previously implemented under the BOT form but has been temporarily suspended.

Section 2: From Tan Tao – Cho Dem to Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3, 6.6 km long.

Section 3: From Ring Road 3 to Tay Ninh border, 5.3 km long, coinciding with the starting point of DT.823D route.

The road is 60 m wide, with a maximum speed of 80 km/h for motor vehicles and 60 km/h for mixed lanes.

A series of bridges over the river will be built on the route, including Cai Trung, Hung Nhon, Lang Le - Bau Co, Kenh A, An Ha - Xang An Ha, and the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 interchange, helping to connect the regional traffic network.

Total investment capital is expected to be 19,400 billion VND, of which site clearance accounts for more than 12,800 billion VND, construction and installation about 3,769 billion VND,...

When completed, the route will relieve traffic pressure in Binh Chanh and Duc Hoa areas, reducing the load on Tran Van Giau - Provincial Road 10 axis.

At the same time, the route connects with Duc Hoa dynamic axis, so it is very convenient to go to the center of Ho Chi Minh City via Vo Van Kiet Street; contributing to improving the ability to transport goods from industrial parks in the area to important ports in Ho Chi Minh City and Tay Ninh after the merger.

Along with the extended Vo Van Kiet road, Ho Chi Minh City will invest in a new Northwest road nearly 10 km long, 40 - 60 m wide, connecting Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 2 (National Highway 1) through Vinh Loc Industrial Park to DT.823D road (Tay Ninh).

On the route, the section passing through the intersection with Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 is also being invested synchronously to increase connectivity and promote the efficiency of the works. The project has a total investment of about 8,800 billion VND.

When completed, this route will connect three strategic belt routes: 2, 3 and 4, forming a new urban-industrial development axis in the Northwest region.

This will help significantly reduce traffic congestion in the Hoc Mon – Binh Chanh – Duc Hoa area, where many industrial parks, warehouses and logistics centers are concentrated.
