Ho Chi Minh City to Mekong Delta road proposed for sixfold expansion

Le Van Luong road, connecting Ho Chi Minh City with Tay Ninh and the Mekong Delta, currently narrow and often congested during peak hours, is proposed for expansion with a total capital of nearly 10,000 billion VND.

Le Van Luong road, from the Tran Xuan Soan intersection to Rach Doi bridge, spans over 10 km and is 6-8 meters wide, currently featuring only two lanes. This vital route connects the southern part of Ho Chi Minh City with Tay Ninh, but frequently experiences congestion, flooding during heavy rains, and high tides. The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction is preparing a research report to propose expanding the entire route to 30-40 meters.
