Binh Duong Province Kicks Off Construction of Tan Van Interchange on Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3
Binh Duong Province recently commenced construction on the Tan Van Interchange (XL1 contract package), which spans 2.4 kilometers and is one of the most challenging sections of the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project.
The interchange will connect Binh Duong Province’s gateway to Hanoi Highway (Ho Chi Minh City), a heavily trafficked area both day and night.
Contractors have deemed this interchange the most complex one along the Ring Road 3 section that passes through Binh Duong Province and a crucial element of the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project.
Upon completion, the Tan Van Interchange will alleviate traffic congestion for localities in the Southeastern region – Perspective Image:
The XL1 contract package is valued at 1,831 billion VND and is being constructed by a consortium of seven companies: Deo Ca Group Joint Stock Company; Deo Ca Construction Joint Stock Company; Delta Construction and Trade Installation Joint Stock Company; Bac Trung Nam Infrastructure Construction Joint Stock Company; Construction and Investment Joint Stock Company 492; Hai Dang Joint Stock Company; and Vietnam Import-Export and Construction Joint Stock Corporation. The contract’s execution period is 1,050 days.
Once completed, this interchange promises to alleviate bottlenecks and improve connectivity from Binh Duong to various directions in the southeastern provinces and cities, thereby boosting economic development and the region’s social well-being, and creating new opportunities for business investment and expansion.
The Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project, which passes through Binh Duong Province, spans approximately 26.6 kilometers. The total investment is estimated at 19,280 billion VND, extending through three localities (Thu Dau Mot City, Di An City, and Thuan An City), with a total compensation cost exceeding 13,063 billion VND.
In addition to the 2.4-kilometer Tan Van Interchange, there are also the 8.9-kilometer Binh Chanh – Saigon River section and the 15.3-kilometer My Phuoc – Tan Van section.
The Tan Van Interchange is considered by contractors to be the most challenging section on the Ring Road 3 – Binh Duong Province section
The road is designed to meet highway standards with parallel roads on both sides. Initially, the route will feature four lanes and will be expanded to eight lanes upon completion, with parallel roads and corridors for greenery and technical infrastructure.
Furthermore, the project in Binh Duong Province also includes two flyovers at the Binh Chuong Interchange and two underpasses for motorbikes and cars on the parallel road.
In 2024 alone, the section through Binh Duong has been allocated an investment capital of 3,834.8 billion VND for its constituent projects.
In addition to the aforementioned contract package, Binh Duong Province commenced construction on the 8.9-kilometer Binh Chuong – Binh Goi bridge section in 2023. Notably, the 15.3-kilometer My Phuoc – Tan Van section was already developed a decade ago.
The largest transportation infrastructure project in the South
The Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project spans over 76 kilometers, with a total investment of nearly 75,400 billion VND. It is the most significant investment in transportation infrastructure projects in the South to date. The entire route traverses Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and Long An, divided into eight constituent projects. Each province or city undertakes two projects: land acquisition and construction.
According to the design, the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 comprises a highway section with a design speed of 100 km/h, a road width of 19.75 m, four lanes separated by a median, and parallel roads on both sides with two lanes for urban motor vehicles at a design speed of 60 km/h.
The entire Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 aims to open the highway portion to traffic by 2025 and complete the entire project by 2026. Once operational, the road is expected to create growth opportunities for industrial corridors, connect various port clusters, reduce travel time and logistics costs, and foster regional connectivity, driving development in the Southern Key Economic Zone.
