After 15 years of delays, the expansion of the Hanoi Highway in Ho Chi Minh City is finally moving forward. The project, led by HCMC Infrastructure Investment Joint Stock Company (CII), has been adjusted for a 2027 completion. Spanning 15.7 km, it includes three segments from Saigon Bridge to Tan Van Junction, expanding to 12-16 lanes with a budget of over VND 4.9 trillion.
Simultaneously, the Tan Van Junction project aims for technical completion by late 2025 and full completion in 2026. As the most complex part of HCMC’s Ring Road 3, it will enhance regional connectivity and spur new development. Other key projects, such as the Binh Thai Junction and the HCMC-Long Thanh Expressway expansion, are also accelerating to alleviate traffic congestion.

The completion of these projects will significantly boost the regional economy, particularly the real estate market. Properties near these infrastructure developments are expected to see higher demand and future price appreciation.
Strategically located at the intersection of Hanoi Highway and Ring Road 3, The Gio Riverside by An Gia is a prime project near Tan Van Junction. Residents will enjoy seamless connectivity, with a 5-minute drive to Tran Bien Ward (Dong Nai), 10 minutes to the Bien Hoa-Vung Tau Expressway, and 20 minutes to Long Thanh International Airport. This 2025 flagship project features two 40-story towers with 3,000 apartments, surrounded by amenities like the New Eastern Bus Station, Aeon Mall Bien Hoa, and Thu Duc University Village.
Other Eastern HCMC projects like Fresia Riverside, Vinhomes Grand Park, The Classia, MT Eastmark City, The 9 Stellars, and Palm Marina also benefit from improved connectivity and liquidity.

Experts highlight that completed infrastructure not only reduces travel time but also reshapes economic and residential flows. Projects near key infrastructure will see increased utility and commercial potential.
In a reshaping market, investors and buyers prioritize properties with high utility and real infrastructure connections. The 2025-2028 completion of these projects will significantly reduce travel time from HCMC to Binh Duong and Dong Nai to 15-20 minutes, while fostering logistics, trade, and international investment.
Additionally, metro lines and ring roads will transform the Eastern region, driving real estate growth along and near these routes.
National Highway 13: A $600 Million Expansion to a 60-Meter Wide Roadway
Stretching nearly 6 kilometers along National Highway 13, the segment from Bình Triệu Bridge to Vĩnh Bình is perpetually congested, constrained by its narrow 4-6 lane configuration despite being a vital artery and home to a dense population. By 2026, this critical route will be expanded to a 60-meter width, alleviating the chronic pressure on Ho Chi Minh City’s northeastern gateway.
