Major Transport Infrastructure Projects in Ho Chi Minh City to be Completed by September 2nd

This National Day, Ho Chi Minh City is expected to complete and open to traffic several important transport projects and structures.

Rach Cay Kho Bridge to Open

Specifically, in the southern part of the city, the Rach Cay Kho Bridge project involves the construction of a 485-meter-long, 12.5-meter-wide bridge spanning the Ong Lon Canal, connecting Pham Hung Street in Binh Chanh District with Nguyen Binh Street in Nha Be District.

The project, which broke ground in 2018 with a total investment of approximately VND 500 billion, was initially scheduled for completion in 2023 but faced delays due to land clearance issues.

With land clearance completed by the end of 2023, the main items of the project have now been finished, and the bridge is expected to open to traffic on the upcoming National Day.

The bridge will provide convenient travel for locals, shortening their commute. Residents of the two localities will no longer have to rely on ferries or take a roundabout route of nearly 10 kilometers.

Binh Hung Wastewater Treatment Plant (Phase 2) to be Inaugurated

The Binh Hung Wastewater Treatment Plant is part of Package J, one of the six large construction packages of the Ho Chi Minh City Environmental Sanitation Project, focusing on the Tau Hu – Ben Nghe – Kenh Doi – Te Canal system.

The project involves expanding and increasing the capacity of the Binh Hung Wastewater Treatment Plant from 141,000 cubic meters per day (phase 1) to 469,000 cubic meters per day (phase 2), with a total investment of over VND 2,000 billion.

The plant aims to collect and treat wastewater to environmental standards for about 2 million people in six central districts of Ho Chi Minh City, addressing environmental pollution in the Tau Hu – Ben Nghe – Kenh Doi – Te canal system.

As planned, the city will inaugurate the Binh Hung Wastewater Treatment Plant (Phase 2) on September 2 this year.

Completion and Opening of Several Bridge, Road, and Intersection Projects

In addition to the above projects, Ho Chi Minh City plans to open the expanded Ten Lua Street (from Street No. 29 to Provincial Road 10 in Binh Tan District) on September 5.

On September 10, the second underground tunnel of the Nguyen Van Linh – Nguyen Huu Tho intersection project in District 7 will open to traffic. After the opening of the second tunnel, the first tunnel and the entire project will be completed by the end of this year.

In the eastern part of the city, the Nam Ly Bridge in Thu Duc City is expected to be completed and open to traffic on September 15. One branch of Ong Bon Bridge in Thu Duc City will open on September 30.

At the An Phu Intersection project in Thu Duc City, the Giong Ong To 2 Bridge will also be completed on September 30.
