The Department of Construction has developed a comprehensive plan for the project, divided into two groups: components implemented through public investment and those executed through public-private partnerships.

The Department of Construction has shared the draft comprehensive plan with relevant units and requested their feedback to finalize the plan before submitting it to the HCMC People’s Committee and the People’s Committees of Dong Nai and Tay Ninh provinces for approval.

The project will be operational by 2028, and full handover is scheduled for 2029.

The Department of Construction will lead the project’s implementation, coordinating with consultants to deliver pre-feasibility study reports to local authorities.

HCMC will collaborate with provincial authorities to establish unified standards, technical solutions, and design guidelines for the entire project, ensuring consistency, quality, and aesthetics.

HCMC will report project progress to the Ministry of Construction for consolidation and submission to the National Assembly, the Government, and the State Steering Committee for key national projects to address any challenges promptly.

The People’s Committees of HCMC, Dong Nai, and Tay Ninh will oversee the implementation of their respective components, applying special mechanisms and adhering to relevant legal frameworks.

Establishment of the Ring Road 4 Steering Committee

To ensure the project’s overall timeline, HCMC has requested provincial authorities to establish a Steering Committee and Expert Group for the entire Ring Road 4 project.

Additionally, local governments are urged to allocate sufficient budget funds to meet the implementation schedule of their components.

Provinces should review and adjust planning schemes and land-use plans affected by the project, ensuring timely approvals for land acquisition. They should also assess resettlement needs and develop resettlement plans to support land clearance efforts.
