The 4.5-km, six-lane Thoi An - Thanh Xuan inter-ward road, with an investment of over 3,500 billion VND, is about to begin construction, promising to alleviate traffic congestion on National Highway 1 in northwestern Ho Chi Minh City.

After two years of construction, the over 4-km-long Phuoc An bridge, connecting the Ben Luc – Long Thanh expressway and Cai Mep port, is beginning to take shape with the installation of stay cables. The project has a total investment of nearly 4.9 trillion VND.

Due to limited space, the expressway expansion project will utilize part of the emergency lane and implement comprehensive traffic management to mitigate congestion.

National Highway 13 and Pham Van Dong Boulevard, two major arteries into Ho Chi Minh City's eastern gateway, experienced extensive traffic jams after cars were rerouted from Binh Trieu 1 Bridge for clearance improvements on Tuesday morning.

The An Phu interchange, a key link between Ho Chi Minh City and Long Thanh airport, is significantly behind schedule, prompting the city's People's Committee to demand action.

Many buses and trucks from the Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway turned onto the Nhon Trach bridge towards Dong Nai on its opening day, despite restrictions, causing confusion and penalties.
