National Highway 51: The Lifeline Connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Vung Tau is Severely Overloaded

National Highway 51, stretching approximately 64km, serves as a vital artery linking Ho Chi Minh City with Ba Ria – Vung Tau province. It plays a pivotal role in transporting goods and passengers between Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, and Ba Ria – Vung Tau.

In reality, the infrastructure of this route is revealing numerous shortcomings, severely impacting inter-regional traffic. Despite being designed for six lanes, the current vehicle volume has exceeded its capacity by fivefold, reaching approximately 60,500 vehicles per day and night.

The immense pressure on National Highway 51 results in frequent congestion, especially during peak hours and holidays. This situation underscores the urgent need to upgrade and expand the route to alleviate traffic, ensure safety, and promote socio-economic development in the region.

The Need to Expedite the Completion of the Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway

The Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway, nearly 58km in length, is a key transportation project connecting the Mekong Delta provinces, Ho Chi Minh City, and the Southeast region, particularly Ba Ria – Vung Tau. Construction began in 2014, but the project has faced multiple delays, and the full route is yet to be completed. Only about 30km is currently in temporary operation, with the remaining sections either under construction or awaiting completion.

The delay in the operation of this expressway is reducing inter-regional connectivity, prolonging travel time, and increasing pressure on existing national highways. Completing the entire route will boost economic development, tourism, and alleviate inter-regional transportation infrastructure in the South.
