“Towards a Seamless Urban Transit Network: Exploring the Feasibility of a Dong Nai-Based Metro Line Extension to Connect with Ho Chi Minh City’s Metro Line 1”

The proposed construction of a 20-kilometer urban railway in Dong Nai province, connecting to the existing Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien), is an ambitious project. This extension will provide a vital transport link to Trảng Bom district, offering an efficient and sustainable travel option for residents and visitors alike. With a total length of 20 kilometers, this new urban railway will be a game-changer for the province, improving connectivity and accessibility while reducing travel times and congestion. This project, as outlined in the investment proposal by the consulting unit, promises to be a transformative development for Dong Nai, offering a modern and efficient transport system that will benefit the community for years to come.

The People’s Committee of Dong Nai province has issued a document to the Director of the Department of Planning and Investment and the Management Board of Traffic Construction Investment Projects on the implementation of the pre-feasibility study report for the railway project in the province, connecting with Metro Line 1.

Specifically, after considering the document from the Department of Planning and Investment on the arrangement of costs for the pre-feasibility study report for the railway project connecting with Metro Line 1, the Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee assigned the Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board to review the unit’s operating budget to implement necessary tasks and propose investment forms for the project.

After the pre-feasibility study report for the project is approved and the investment form is determined, the Department of Planning and Investment will take charge, advise, and propose to the Provincial People’s Committee for consideration and arrangement of capital for investment preparation for the project (including reimbursement of incurred expenses) when the conditions for the dossier are met.

Previously, the Department of Planning and Investment had sent a document to the People’s Committee of Dong Nai province on arranging costs for the pre-feasibility study report for the railway project connecting with Metro Line 1.

According to the Department of Planning and Investment, the railway project connecting with Metro Line 1 is being coordinated by the Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board with relevant units to review and propose investment scale, preliminarily calculate the total investment as a basis for reporting to the Provincial People’s Committee, and the investment form for the project has not been determined (public investment, investment in the form of public-private partnership, ODA loans or other investment forms).

Therefore, the Department of Planning and Investment does not have a basis to advise the Provincial People’s Committee on capital arrangement to carry out investment preparation. For now, the Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board is requested to review the unit’s operating budget to implement necessary tasks and propose investment forms for the project.

According to the investment plan of the consulting unit, the project to build urban railway lines in Binh Duong and Dong Nai provinces, connecting with Metro Line 1, has a total length of more than 53 km and is divided into 3 component projects.

The third component project, located in Dong Nai province, will connect from the expected S0 station before the Tan Van extended intersection to Trang Bom district, with a total length of more than 20 km, including branches and a depot to be built in Dong Nai province. The entire route will include 11 stations and 1 depot, expected to be located in Ho Nai 3 commune, Trang Bom district.
