TPO - The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport has just proposed to the authorities to deploy 3 waterway routes connecting Ho Chi Minh City to Long Thanh airport to facilitate passenger travel after Long Thanh airport is put into use.
According to the proposal, from Ho Chi Minh City to Long Thanh airport (Long Thanh district, Dong Nai province) has many advantages in terms of waterway because the route lies along the Saigon and Dong Nai rivers, where there are many wharves and ports in operation.
Therefore, the Department of Transport of Ho Chi Minh City has proposed to build 3 waterway routes to transport passengers from Ho Chi Minh City to Long Thanh airport and vice versa. Specifically:
 |
| Bach Dang Wharf (District 1, HCMC) |
- Bach Dang - Swan Bay route : Passengers will depart from Bach Dang wharf (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) by speedboat to Swan Bay marina (Nhon Trach district, Dong Nai). Travel time by speedboat is about 35 minutes to 45 minutes. Then, from Swan Bay marina, visitors will travel by road along the available routes to Long Thanh airport in about 15 minutes. This is a suitable waterway for visitors in the central area of Ho Chi Minh City to reach Long Thanh airport.
- Nha Be - Nhon Trach route : Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai will upgrade the two ends of Phu Xuan - Phuoc Khanh wharf on Soai Rap river and increase the means of transport on both sides of the river to expand the connection from Nha Be area (Ho Chi Minh City) to Nhon Trach district (Dong Nai). After crossing the river, passengers can follow Pham Thai Buong route (Nhon Trach, Dong Nai) to Long Thanh airport with a distance of nearly 25 km, travel time 40 minutes to 45 minutes. This river route is suitable for passengers in the South of Ho Chi Minh City such as District 7 and districts Nha Be, Binh Chanh, Can Gio...

| The existing Cat Lai ferry connects Thu Duc City (HCMC) and Nhon Trach District (Dong Nai) |
- Cat Lai - Nhon Trach route : Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai will expand and increase the operating capacity at Cat Lai ferry terminal connecting Thu Duc City (Ho Chi Minh City) and Nhon Trach District (Dong Nai). After crossing the ferry, passengers will follow the existing road DT 769 to Long Thanh airport in about 60 minutes. The advantage of this option is that the road is convenient due to the existing traffic infrastructure and is suitable for passengers in Thu Duc City (Ho Chi Minh City) while waiting for the Cat Lai bridge to be built.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport said that the Department is currently working with relevant units to review and evaluate the current status of infrastructure, routes, ports, inland waterways, and inland waterway vehicles so that they can be deployed soon to meet the transportation needs of passengers right after Long Thanh airport is put into use.
