HCM City (VNS/VNA) - Four key traffic projects in Ho Chi Minh City were officially opened at the end of 2024.

The projects include Phuoc Long Bridge (connecting District 7 to Nha Be district), the HC1 underpass (Nguyen Van Linh - Nguyen Huu Thọ intersection), the expanded road of National Highway 50 (Binh Chanh district) and Tan Ky Tan Quy Street (Binh Tan district).

Construction of the tunnel at the intersection of Nguyen Van Linh and Nguyen Huu Tho streets in District 7, which had an investment of 830 billion VND (32.4 million USD), began in September 2020.

In October last year the first tunnel was completed, but the intersection was still blocked due to construction of the second tunnel, causing congestion to continue.

Also in the south of the city, the Phuoc Long Bridge project, connecting District 7 and Nha Be, with an investment of 748 billion VND (29.4 million USD).

The bridge is located on Pham Huu Lau Street over Phu Xuan Canal and is 359m long and 10.5m wide.

The opening of these projects, along with the opening of Rach Dia Bridge in November 2024 and the HC2 underpass (at Nguyen Van Linh- Nguyen Huu Tho intersection) in October 2024, has contributed to strengthening traffic connections between District 7 and Nha Be district, helping to complete the traffic system in the south of HCM City.

The project to expand Tan Ky - Tan Quy Street, passing through Binh Tan district, is the main route to connect Hoc Mon, Binh Tan, Tan Phu and Tan Binh districts with Tan Son Nhat Airport and the inner city.

The expanded section is nearly 2km in length, from Binh Long Street to Ma Lo Street, expanding the road surface from 8-10m to 30m, combined with the construction of drainage and lighting systems.

The Traffic Department with the support of the city's Department of Transport and related units will focus on accelerating the construction progress to complete and put into service before the Lunar New Year 2025 the following: Duong Quang Ham Street, Go Vap district (Phase 1), Hoang Hoa Tham - Tran Quoc Hoan - Cong Hoa connecting road (Phase 1), the Tan Ky Tan Quy bridge and the Ba Hom bridge and the Giong Ong To 2 Bridge of the An Phu intersection, along with the Hang Bang canal (in District 5)./.
