The total investment of the project is calculated to reach VND3,926 billion (US$173 million), including VND1,800 billion (US$79.5 million) from the central budget capital and the rest from the city budget.
The An Phu Intersection has three floors, including a two-way underground connecting the HCMC – Long Thanh – Dau Giay expressway with Mai Chi Tho Street from Thu Thiem underground road tunnel and prolonged underground road tunnel through intersection Mai Chi Tho – Dong Van Cong.
Besides, the project has two overpasses. Of which, the first one will connect between Mai Chi Tho Street, Luong Dinh Cua Street and the expressway and the second one will connect the expressway with Mai Chi Tho street.
