The Directorate for Roads of Vietnam has asked the investor of the Ho Chi Minh City–Trung Luong–My Thuan Expressway expansion project to accelerate site clearance in order to commence construction on schedule.
With a total investment of more than VND36.17 trillion (nearly $1.4 billion), the project will be implemented under the public-private partnership (PPP) model in the form of a build-operate-transfer (BOT) contract.
Under the plan, the Ho Chi Minh City–Trung Luong section will be expanded to eight lanes, with a maximum speed limit of 120 km per hour. Meanwhile, the Trung Luong–My Thuan section and the stretch from An Thai Trung intersection to the northern approach of My Thuan 2 Bridge will be widened to six lanes, allowing a maximum speed of 100 km per hour.
The expressway has a total length of approximately 96.13 km, passing through Ho Chi Minh City, Tay Ninh province, and Dong Thap province.
The consortium selected to implement the project comprises Deo Ca Group Joint Stock Company, Ho Chi Minh City Infrastructure Investment Joint Stock Company, Tasco Joint Stock Company, Hoang Long Construction Investment Corporation, and CII Service and Investment Company Limited.
