Construction started in July 2023, but to date, the Ring Road 3 project through Hoc Mon district, Ho Chi Minh City has only reached 15% progress due to difficulties in supplying sand materials.
According to Dan Viet reporters, in the XL8 package (passing through Hoc Mon district) of the Ring Road 3 project, workers and engineers are focusing on implementing construction items including a viaduct over Nguyen Van Bua street, 2 overpasses over the canal and a highway section over 7km long.
Package XL8 was started in August 2023 with a total value of VND 1,417 billion, but to date, only 15% of the progress has been achieved due to difficulties in supplying sand materials.
According to the contractor representative, the entire package requires about 1.4 million cubic meters of sand to build the foundation for the main road and the secondary roads, bypasses, and service roads. However, since the beginning of construction, the sand source has been scarce, leading to delays.
According to this representative, at the end of September 2024, more than 120,000m3 of sand began to arrive, and the contractor is currently speeding up construction to make up for the past progress.
The construction unit is handling the reinforcement of weak ground using the method of inserting wicks.
At the same time, the construction unit is also focusing on simultaneously implementing bridge items at the TL9 overpass and N8 bridge.
The Ring Road 3 project is 76km long, passing through 4 localities, including Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Dong Nai and Long An with a total cost of nearly 75,400 billion VND. In Ho Chi Minh City, the project has 14 bidding packages. It is expected that Ring Road 3 will be completed in 2025 and the entire route will be open to traffic in 2026.
This is a project of great significance to the city’s transport development. In particular, after completion, the project is expected to help reduce traffic congestion, connect areas and promote socio-economic development.
