HCMC urgently completes traffic infrastructure linking to Tan Son Nhat Airport

Implementing the city’s breakthrough action program to reduce traffic congestion and traffic accidents in the areas nearby Tan Son Nhat Airport in the period of 2016-2020, Ho Chi Minh City has invested in the construction of bridges and roads such as the flyovers in Truong Son Street and at the intersection of Nguyen Kiem - Nguyen Oanh - Pham Van Dong - Nguyen Thai Son which have basically solved traffic congestion in the areas.

Of which, five upgraded, expanded and renovated projects for Hoang Hoa Tham, Cong Hoa, Truong Chinh Street in Tan Binh District, Tan Ky Tan Quy Street in Tan Phu District and Tan Son Street in Go Vap District around Tan Son Nhat Airport have been approved but the clearance of the site has affected their implementation progress. 

Deputy Director of Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport Phan Cong Bang said that the Municipal Department of Transport requested the People's Committees of the above districts to urgently complete the site clearance of these projects to hand over the land to the investors. 

To speed up the implementation process of the traffic projects synchronized with the T3 terminal project of Tan Son Nhat International Airport, the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has proposed the Ministry of National Defense promptly hand over about 1,122 square meters of land outside the boundary of the road project, connecting Tran Quoc Hoan Street with Cong Hoa Street in Tan Binh District, for HCMC to conveniently regulate the traffic and perform on-site resettlement for the affected households.

According to Director of the Transportation Works Construction Investment Project Management Authority of HCMC Luong Minh Phuc, to synchronize with the construction progress of the T3 passenger terminal, the work must be started this year and be completed by the end of 2023.
