Authorities in southern Dong Nai province have proposed the government soon expand the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway to 10 - 12 lanes to address traffic congestion.
The 55-km link has four lanes and was put into operation in 2016. It is an important transport route connecting Ho Chi Minh City with the southern region but has become overloaded and traffic jams are a common occurrence.
Under the road network plan for the 2021-2030 period, the expressway is to be expanded to 10 lanes.
Last year, the Vietnam Expressway Corporation proposed allocating VND14.7 trillion ($620 million) to upgrade and expand the expressway to 8-10 lanes.
