Constant re-planning of transport projects in Vietnam
Illustrative photo. In a pattern that seems to have prevailed for years, a transport project is usually put into operation soon after its inauguration, but then within a short time there is a need for its expansion or upgrade. What is more surprising is that even projects that are still under construction are being reconsidered for expansion or an upgrade. Such as in the case of the Hanoi Highway which has been expanded four times and still not complete. It may be that this Highway may even be further expanded. The Ho Chi Minh City to Long Thanh to Dau Giay Expressway was started in 2009 with an original design plan of four lanes, then soon after increased to six lanes and now being considered for eight lanes. For all we know it may also be extended to twelve lanes soon. The 17 km long metro line 1 has not yet been put into a trial operation but is being considered for an extension to include the route to Binh Duong and Dong Nai provinces. More recently, the 51 km long Trung Luong … [Read more...] about Constant re-planning of transport projects in Vietnam
VEC proposes to expand HCMC-Long Thanh expressway in advance of 2025
The traffic volume on Ho Chi Minh City- Long Thanh- Dau Giay expressway increased by an average of 10 percent a year. According to the MoT, after the Ho Chi Minh City- Long Thanh- Dau Giay expressway was put into exploitation, the traffic volume passing through the expressway increased by an average of 10 percent a year. Currently, the flow of vehicles through the section from the An Phu intersection in Ho Chi Minh City to the Long Thanh intersection exceeds the road's capacity. Therefore, studying the investment plan to expand the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh expressway is necessary in accordance with the approved plan. Recently, the Vietnam Expressway Development Investment Corporation (VEC) proposed a plan of continuing investment and expansion of the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh expressway, from Ring Road No.2 in Ho Chi Minh City to the Long Thanh intersection, from the current four lanes to eight lanes.
