The Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee has approved adjustments to the investment policy for two major projects: the construction, renovation, and expansion of Ton That Thuyet Street and the green park along the Te Canal, and the dredging, environmental improvement, and urban beautification of the Ba Lon and Ong Be Canal drainage systems.
The Ton That Thuyet Street project, spanning the former wards of Vinh Hoi, Khanh Hoi, and Xom Chieu in District 4, is allocated a budget of VND 5,554 billion. It includes the expansion of Ton That Thuyet Street to 26 meters wide, with a total length of approximately 3,608 meters. This involves renovating and expanding 3,423 meters of the existing road, constructing a new bridge over Nguyen Kieu Canal, and building a 185-meter planned road segment.
A green park will be developed along the Te Canal to serve the local community.
The project also encompasses the construction of embankments to protect the banks of the Te Canal and Nguyen Kieu Canal, the renovation and expansion of Nguyen Kieu Bridge on Ben Van Don Street, and the improvement of drainage, lighting, and green spaces along the Te Canal.
Ton That Thuyet Street will be expanded to 26 meters wide, with a total length of approximately 3,608 meters.
The project timeline extends to 2029, with completion and operation expected in 2028, followed by settlement in 2029. This project aims to address the long-standing traffic congestion issue on Ton That Thuyet Street, enhance road capacity, alleviate traffic on Khanh Hoi – Te Canal Bridge – Nguyen Huu Tho routes and surrounding areas, and integrate seamlessly with the Nguyen Khoai Bridge and Road project.
The Ba Lon Canal project, with a total investment of VND 9,228 billion, is scheduled from 2025 to 2030. The canal, originating from Kenh Doi Canal in Binh Dong Ward and ending at the intersection of Ba Lon and Ba Lao Canals in Binh Hung Commune, spans approximately 7.4 kilometers.
The project includes dredging the canal, constructing 9.9 kilometers of embankments, building a new 0.62-kilometer road with a width of 12-18 meters, and a new 40-meter wide, 58-meter long Ba Lon 2 Bridge over National Highway 50.
This initiative will improve water flow, support stormwater drainage from the city center, and meet the drainage needs of a 920-hectare catchment area. It will also enhance urban aesthetics, prevent riverbank erosion, relocate houses along the canal, and contribute to the city’s urban beautification goals by 2030.
The road along Ba Lon Canal will connect to the existing Ta Quang Buu Street and align with the upcoming Ta Quang Buu Bridge and Road project.
The Ong Be and Branch Canal project, with a total investment of VND 7,785 billion, covers Ong Be Canal (from Kenh Doi to Ong Lon River) and Branch Canal (from Ong Be Canal to Ong Lon River), totaling approximately 4.3 kilometers in length. The project will be implemented in Chanh Hung Ward and Binh Hung Commune from 2025 to 2030.
This project aims to improve drainage, reduce flooding in a 470-hectare area, support Kenh Doi Canal drainage, and complement the city’s flood control efforts, considering climate change impacts.
