Vietnam’s Ministry of Construction has officially approved the expansion of the Ho Chi Minh City – Trung Luong – My Thuan Expressway under Decision No. 2166/QĐ-BXD, utilizing the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
The designated investor consortium comprises Deo Ca Group JSC, HCMC Infrastructure Investment JSC, Tasco JSC, Hoang Long Construction and Investment Corporation, and CII Service and Investment Company Limited.
With a total investment exceeding VND 36 trillion, construction is slated to commence in Q4 2025, targeting completion and operational readiness by 2028.
Spanning approximately 96.13km across Ho Chi Minh City, Tay Ninh, and Dong Thap provinces, the route originates at Cho Dem Junction (Tan Nhut Commune, HCMC) and terminates at the northern end of My Thuan 2 Bridge (An Huu Commune, Dong Thap).
The HCMC-Trung Luong segment will feature a fully developed 10-12 lane design (12 lanes from Cho Dem to Ring Road 4; 10 lanes from Ring Road 4 to Trung Luong), initially implemented as an 8-lane phase with a 120km/h design speed. The Trung Luong-My Thuan section and the An Thai Trung interchange to My Thuan 2 Bridge will be fully developed as 6-lane highways with a 100km/h design speed.
The project includes a comprehensive intelligent transportation system: new construction, upgrades, and integration of traffic management systems, electronic toll collection, and vehicle weight monitoring stations to ensure efficient traffic control aligned with the highway’s scale and operational requirements, while maintaining seamless connectivity with adjacent routes.
Rest stops are strategically located at Km28+200 (HCMC-Trung Luong) and Km78+220 (Trung Luong-My Thuan). The project features 10 interchanges, including upgrades to 8 existing junctions and the addition of 2 new interchanges to accommodate the expanded highway.
This expansion is a critical strategic initiative to alleviate severe congestion and complete a vital transportation backbone, catalyzing socioeconomic development across the Mekong Delta region.
The investor consortium brings proven expertise in large-scale infrastructure projects, ensuring the technical and operational capabilities required for this complex, high-specification development.
Notably, Deo Ca Group is recognized as Vietnam’s leading highway developer and operator, with a portfolio including the Bac Giang-Lang Son Expressway, Phase 1 of the Trung Luong-My Thuan Expressway, Cam Lam-Vinh Hao Expressway, Hai Van 2 Tunnel, Deo Ca Tunnel, Cu Mong Tunnel, and Phuoc Tuong-Phu Gia Tunnel.
