The total investment of the Project is nearly 15,000 billion VND, including state budget capital and VEC mobilized capital, of which public investment capital is 6,500 billion VND and VEC mobilized capital is about 8,500 billion VND.
After the Government officially approved the Project implementation in the form of an emergency construction project, VEC directed the consultant to immediately carry out the survey, prepare the construction drawing design, and estimate in parallel with the survey, prepare the Feasibility Study Report; approve the construction drawings for each item of the bid package to organize the implementation right at the construction site, both design and construction; select contractors and immediately implement the items whose construction drawing design has been approved; start construction from August 19, 2025 and basically complete the project in December 2026 according to the direction of the Prime Minister.
Accordingly, the project to expand the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh expressway has a basic centerline following the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway, expanding to both sides.
The section across Long Thanh Bridge will be expanded to the right of the existing route (downstream). Upon completion, the project will ensure the technical standards of the expressway, smooth operation, maximum utilization of the items invested in and constructed in Phase 1, ensuring economic - technical and long-term project stability.
In particular, the section from Ring Road 2 intersection to Ring Road 3 intersection (Km4+000÷Km8+844.5) is more than 4.8 km long, with investment to expand from 4 lanes to 8 lanes.
The section from the Ring Road 3 intersection to the intersection with Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway, excluding Long Thanh Bridge (Km8 + 844.5 ÷ Km25 + 920) is more than 14.7km long, with investment to expand from 4 lanes to 10 lanes.
