Located in Binh Trung Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, the 660-meter Lien Phuong Road (including a bridge over Kinh Canal and the access road to the Rach Chiec National Sports Complex) is ready and expected to open on November 8th.
Numerous final touches are being completed, including asphalt paving, lane markings, guardrail installation, lighting systems, brick-paved sidewalks, greenery planting, and staircases.
A standout feature of Lien Phuong Road is its section through the billion-dollar international urban area, The Global City, a flagship project by Masterise Homes. In 2024 alone, The Global City welcomed over 3 million visitors to experience its amenities and world-class events, while the SOHO area quickly attracted residents and hundreds of F&B, education, service, and entertainment brands.
The road section through this urban area is 100% complete, offering an international-standard urban landscape. Additionally, access points connecting to Mai Chi Tho and Vo Nguyen Giap Avenues (An Phu Ward) are ready for use.
Designed with 6 lanes, a speed limit of 60 km/h, and a single-axle load capacity of 10 tons, Lien Phuong Road is strategically located at the eastern gateway of Ho Chi Minh City. It is expected to significantly alleviate the area’s chronic traffic congestion, once likened to a daily bottleneck.
This road serves as a vital strategic traffic artery, reshaping the entire eastern gateway transportation network of Ho Chi Minh City. It will significantly reduce congestion, especially at the An Phu intersection, by creating a seamless connection from the HCMC-Long Thanh-Dau Giay Expressway through Vo Chi Cong, Do Xuan Hop, Vo Nguyen Giap, and Cat Lai intersections. This will divert heavy trucks and containers away from a single point.
The An Phu intersection is notorious as Ho Chi Minh City’s most congested traffic hotspot. Gridlock is a daily occurrence, with thousands of trucks, cars, and motorbikes often queued for 2-3 km in each direction. Long red light waits exacerbate the situation, leaving residents frustrated and often opting for longer detours.
Additionally, the project shortens the route by approximately 4 km from the Cat Lai intersection to the Lien Phuong-Do Xuan Hop intersection, saving commuters 10-15 minutes per trip. It avoids the congested expressway section prone to accidents due to heavy truck traffic. The road also directly connects to the Rach Chiec National Sports Complex, slated for redevelopment into a major hub for annual sports events, fairs, and exhibitions.
Lien Phuong Road seamlessly integrates with major projects such as the Do Xuan Hop expansion (VND 870 billion, expected completion in 2025), the Ring Road 3 (partial opening in late 2025), and the HCMC-Long Thanh-Dau Giay Expressway. Together, they form a modern inter-regional transportation network, reducing travel times to the city center, enhancing urban aesthetics, and driving socio-economic development in the eastern region.
Crucially, the project serves as a golden catalyst for eastern real estate value, enhancing connectivity and commercial potential. Once operational, increased traffic will drive sustainable value growth.
Numerous existing and upcoming projects in the area, including The Global City (Masterise Homes), Safira Khang Dien, Verosa, Sky 9, The Eastern, and Dong Tang Long, feature hundreds of townhouses, villas, and apartments. These developments create a modern urban landscape, attracting tens of thousands of affluent residents and international investors.
Seizing this opportunity, major real estate developers will undoubtedly capitalize on the infrastructure, swiftly launching projects along the route to leverage the new connectivity. This will further invigorate the area, making it even more appealing in the former Thu Duc City, designated by the Prime Minister and Ho Chi Minh City authorities as a hub for innovation, knowledge-based economy, and the Southeast region’s future financial and technological center.
