To accelerate progress, contractors have increased shifts, adjusted workloads, and changed construction methods at certain locations. However, challenges remain, such as weak soil foundations requiring long settling times (9-12 months) and fluctuating construction material prices.
Completing All Items Before December 19, 2025
Deputy Prime Minister Mai Van Chinh speaks at the meeting.
The inspection team noted that land clearance has been completed, and units are working in “3 shifts, 4 teams.” The Binh Duong Transport Department has signed a 100-day competition agreement to complete all items before December 19, 2025. Additionally, they have proposed that the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee study a plan to fully develop the Tan Van Intersection to ensure the project’s overall efficiency.
Speaking at the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Mai Van Chinh acknowledged the efforts of the project owner, contractors, and Ring Road 3 project stakeholders over the past period. He noted that since the June inspection, the packages have shown significant progress, with many items achieving good results, including the Binh Goi Bridge.
Deputy Prime Minister Mai Van Chinh emphasized that by the end of this year, the entire route must be substantially completed to allow for the opening ceremony on December 19, 2025. The government has launched a “100-day, 3-shift, 4-team” campaign to expedite progress. The remaining items will continue to be completed after the opening.
Mr. Mai Van Chinh also highlighted that the biggest challenge currently is addressing the weak soil foundation. Therefore, contractors must apply appropriate technical solutions, promptly overcome issues, and ensure compliance with regulations. The Deputy Prime Minister requested that all contractors ensure progress, quality, labor safety, and project efficiency.
