The My Thuy Intersection Construction Project, a key initiative in Ho Chi Minh City, aims to alleviate traffic congestion around the Cat Lai Port and Phu My Bridge areas. Commenced in 2016, this project connects vital arteries such as Nguyen Thi Dinh, Dong Van Cong, and Ring Road 2 (Vo Chi Cong). This zone experiences the highest density of freight traffic in the city, often leading to prolonged gridlock.
The project comprises two main components: construction, with a budget of VND 1,826 billion, and land compensation, resettlement, and site clearance, totaling over VND 1,623 billion.
The My Thuy Intersection Project is divided into three phases. Phases 1 and 2, completed between 2019 and 2021, included the Ky Ha 3 Bridge (left branch), the overpass on Ring Road 2 (left branch), the underpass for left turns from Ring Road 2 to Cat Lai, and the My Thuy 3 Bridge, accommodating six lanes.
On March 14th, the final components of Phase 3 officially commenced, targeting completion within a year to significantly reduce congestion at Ho Chi Minh City’s eastern gateway.
Recent observations by VTC News reporters at the site reveal a bustling atmosphere, with contractors maximizing manpower and equipment to meet deadlines.
The main structure of the overpass on Ring Road 2 (right branch) is progressively taking shape.
Contractors are working continuously, employing multiple teams to accelerate progress before the rainy season.
Overpass No. 2, featuring nearly 10 piers extending from Pha Cat Lai to Phu My Bridge, is nearing readiness for girder construction.
Alongside the bridge components, the frontage road system, including Routes 1, 2, and 3 of Phase 3, is showing significant progress. Route 2, stretching from Pha Cat Lai under the Ky Ha 3 Bridge and continuing beneath the My Thuy 1, 2, and 3 Bridges toward the Ky Ha 2 Bridge area, is currently undergoing land preparation and road foundation work.
Route 3, situated beneath the My Thuy 2 Bridge and connecting to Phu My Bridge, was established earlier but is progressing slower due to land acquisition challenges and construction coordination.
The Ky Ha 4 Bridge, a critical component of Phase 3, has begun construction but is progressing at a moderate pace.
The My Thuy Intersection, designed as a three-tier structure with a total investment of approximately VND 3,400 billion, is one of the largest and most complex intersections in the eastern part of the city. It directly serves the Cat Lai Port cluster, which handles the largest volume of goods in the country.
Key components include an 8-lane overpass along Vo Chi Cong, a 2-lane overpass for left turns from Cat Lai to Phu My Bridge, a 2-lane underpass for left turns from Vo Chi Cong to Cat Lai, the 8-lane Ky Ha 3 Bridge, and the 3-lane Ky Ha 4 Bridge for right turns from Vo Chi Cong to Cat Lai. Additionally, frontage roads under the bridges are being constructed to separate motorcycles and trucks, ensuring safer traffic flow.
For years, My Thuy has been a notorious congestion hotspot in Ho Chi Minh City, with thousands of container trucks entering and exiting the port daily. Upon completion, the project will enhance traffic capacity across the area, reduce conflicts, and alleviate prolonged congestion on Nguyen Thi Dinh, Dong Van Cong, and Ring Road 2. It will also facilitate freight transport, supporting the city’s socio-economic development.
Phase 3 is being implemented with minimal disruption to public travel. The project owner aims to complete the entire project by April 30, 2026, contributing to the comprehensive development of the eastern gateway’s transportation network, seamlessly integrating with Ring Road 2 and other radial roads.
