The expansion project of the key route of Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway from four lanes to 8-10 lanes has been approved by the Prime Minister. However, the funding plan for Vietnam Expressway Development Investment Corporation (VEC) is still undecided, and the implementation of the project will take 24 to 30 months.
In addition, the Ministry of Transport has submitted a report on Ben Luc-Long Thanh Expressway to the Prime Minister proposing an extension of the project's implementation from September 2025 to September 2026 due to issues with Phuoc Khanh Bridge, which has not been able to resume construction.
Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway is currently under construction, with the goal of being operational by the end of this year. However, the site clearance work in Dong Nai province has been delayed, making it difficult to meet the scheduled timeline.
The construction project of Ho Chi Minh City’s Ring Road 3 is accelerating to ensure that the main expressway section will be completed by 2025. Other road sections and parallel streets are expected to be finished in 2026.
The Ministry of Transport announced that according to the ongoing planning, Long Thanh International Airport and Ho Chi Minh City will have seven connecting routes. These connections are expected to enhance accessibility and improve transportation to and from the airport, ensuring smoother travel for both passengers and goods.
The first route connects Long Thanh International Airport with Ho Chi Minh City via Bien Hoa–Vung Tau Expressway, Ho Chi Minh City–Long Thanh Expressway, Ring Road 2, and major routes to the city.
