The Cai Creek Dredging and Reinforcement Project, spanning from Tho Ut Bridge to the Dong Nai River, serves a dual purpose: managing stormwater and treated wastewater for a 22,503-hectare basin while enhancing environmental quality, urban aesthetics, and constructing 37.4 km of regional roads. Approved by the former Binh Duong Provincial People’s Committee, the project’s adjusted investment totals nearly VND 6 trillion, covering nearly 19 km and divided into 10 construction packages.
According to the Binh Duong Agriculture and Rural Development Project Management Board, the 2025 planned capital is VND 305 billion, with over VND 245 billion (80%) disbursed to date. Full disbursement is expected by November 2025. Localities along the project route have handed over land in 19 phases, with 858 out of 964 affected cases (87%) compensated; 106 cases remain unresolved.

Construction progress includes 10 initiated packages (1, 2A, 2B, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7A, 7B) totaling 14.31 km. Packages 2A (5.858 km) and 2B, launched in early 2024, are 83% and 92% complete, respectively. Originally slated for May 25, 2025, completion was extended to April 30, 2026, due to land acquisition delays. Packages 4 and 6A (started 2025) are 28% complete, while packages 1, 3, 5, and 6B (started June 21, 2025) range from 8% to 18% completion. Packages 7A and 7B (4.6 km, started August 11, 2025) are underway.
Vu Tien Son, Director of the Binh Duong Agriculture and Rural Development Project Management Board, stated that all 10 packages are scheduled for completion by Q2/2027, with final settlement by year-end 2027.
