Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is set to launch an architectural design competition for the Go Cong Interchange and its connecting road from Hanoi Highway to the Ring Road 3. The project, with a total investment of over VND 12,400 billion, was approved by the HCMC People’s Committee following the City Council’s endorsement on August 28.
The Go Cong Interchange, connecting Ring Road 3 and Hanoi Highway, is envisioned as a four-level structure with multiple overpasses.
Seeking Optimal Design Solutions for a Landmark Project
Located in Long Phuoc Ward, the Go Cong Interchange spans nearly 25 hectares at the strategic junction of Ring Road 3 and Nguyen Xien Street. The competition aims to identify a design that not only optimizes technical efficiency but also creates an architectural landmark for the eastern gateway—a region grappling with heavy traffic and rapid urban development.
The project includes a 5.9 km road from Tram 2 Interchange on Hanoi Highway to the Go Cong Interchange. Designed with two parallel branches, the road features a total of six lanes (three per direction) to accommodate high traffic volumes and seamlessly integrate with Ring Road 3.
The Go Cong Interchange itself will be a four-level, grade-separated intersection with a central roundabout for traffic management. Each of the four ramps (N1, N2, N3, N4) will have two lanes, ensuring flexible connectivity. A four-lane elevated road on Ring Road 3 will separate traffic flows and prevent congestion. A future tunnel connecting Hanoi Highway to Long Phuoc and the Dong Nai 2 Bridge will be developed in later phases, aligned with demand and timelines.
The project’s overpasses are designed for long-term scalability: the Le Van Viet – D1 overpass includes two units of three lanes each; the Go Cong Canal overpass features two units of three lanes; and the Trau Trau Canal overpass comprises four units, with three and four lanes, to support regional growth. The Go Cong Interchange and its Hanoi Highway connector are estimated to cost VND 5,329 billion.
Construction Slated for Q1-2027
Land acquisition and clearance are scheduled from Q4-2025 to Q4-2026. HCMC plans to commence construction in Q1-2027 and complete the project by Q4-2028. Once operational, the project is expected to alleviate traffic congestion in the eastern area and enhance the efficiency of Ring Road 3, a critical inter-regional transport axis.
The design competition, organized by the HCMC People’s Committee, is managed by the Management Board of Traffic Works Investment Projects. Open to all qualified architectural, planning, and transportation firms or consortia, the competition has no participant limit. Entries must meet legal capacity requirements.
