The key highway linking Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong will be widened to 60 meters, featuring 10 lanes and an elevated section, with an estimated investment of $870 million.

Ho Chi Minh City is seeking over $2.3 billion under a public-private partnership model to upgrade and expand four critical transport gateways, aiming to improve regional connectivity and traffic flow.

An investment of more than VNĐ42 trillion (US$1.65 billion) has been approved for the development of four key infrastructure projects in HCM City that are aimed at improving connectivity and driving economic growth.

By 2025, Ho Chi Minh City plans to commence construction on five major bridges, including Can Gio Bridge, Thu Thiem 4 Bridge, Nguyen Khoai Road Bridge, Binh Tien Bridge, and a pedestrian bridge over the Saigon River.

As Vietnam accelerates its economic expansion, Ho Chi Minh City is gearing up to launch the Can Gio International Transshipment Port, a strategic project poised to enhance the nation’s role in global maritime trade.

Major transport projects, including a new airport terminal and key road expansions, are set to transform traffic flow and regional connectivity in Vietnam’s largest city.

Vietnam’s Ministry of Transport has announced that construction of the high-speed North-South railway will begin in December 2027, with completion expected by 2035.

Ho Chi Minh City is set to open seven major infrastructure projects, including the newly inaugurated Tan Ky Tan Quy Bridge, to ease traffic ahead of Lunar New Year (Tet) 2025.

Ho Chi Minh City completed four major transportation projects in 2024, including the long-awaited Metro Line 1 and the Nguyen Van Linh–Nguyen Huu Tho underpass, improving connectivity and easing congestion.

The Nguyen Van Linh - Nguyen Huu Tho underpass, Phuoc Long Bridge, and the expanded National Highway 50 will open to the public at the end of December, transforming southern Ho Chi Minh City’s transportation landscape.

In the context of rapid urbanisation, and a science and technology revolution in many fields, the combination of technology and management is the key to improve the quality of the urban transport system towards a modern, sustainable and smart city.

The Vietnamese government has clarified its decision to limit the North-South high-speed railway to Hanoi-HCMC, prioritizing efficiency and long-term benefits over extended routes.

A 22-kilometer stretch of the HCMC–Long Thanh Expressway will be expanded to 8–10 lanes, with construction expected to commence in 2025.

The HCMC - Moc Bai Expressway project, with a total investment of VND 20,000 billion, is now open for investor interest as the city seeks partners for its initial phase.

A 48-km railway line linking HCM City to the under-construction Long Thanh airport in neighbouring Dong Nai Province will be built between 2026 and 2029, costing VNĐ84.7 trillion (US$3.42 billion).

Eleven component projects of the 2017-2020 North-South expressway, including rest areas, are still missing after the route being opened to traffic for more than a year.

As of June this year, many projects are lacking sand for embankment

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha chaired a key meeting to discuss advancing urban rail projects in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, focusing on strategic planning, technology selection, and funding mechanisms.

The upcoming Ring Road 4 project, estimated at 136,000 billion VND ($5.67 billion), is set to be submitted to the National Assembly in October 2024.
